Looking at the disaster of a budget the GOP has proposed.

NIH caps "indirect research costs" at 15%, potentially surrendering decades of US dominance in medical research. Dr. Harlan Krumholz: "We cannot afford to sacrifice the core infrastructure that enables all the discoveries."

Institutions that administer research will not be able to cover this shortfall in indirects. This WILL result in layoffs.

This will devastate research.
Massachusetts received 3.4 Billion in grants and contracts in FY23. This directly supported 28,842 jobs and 7.48 Billion in economic activity.

I’ve been so stressed out that we are 4 days into February and didn’t even know it.

We're finally dismantling the federal government! Sure hope it doesn't serve essential functions that I've taken for granted my whole life

White House pauses federal grants and loans - BBC News Democrats warn the move could have "devastating consequences" on programmes that people across the US rely on.

About to be unemployed.

The day to day recently feels very heavy (I think we can all agree).

Forcing myself to take in small pleasures where I can.

*Sourdough with sardines, smashed eggs, pickled red onion, capers and dill.*

I wish I could acclimate better to the horrors.

As someone who works Federal adjacent, I am very fucking happy this week is over.

Yes I know that next week will suck too.

Embarrassed to admit that I have not been a big reader lately and I’m trying to change that. Starting book #1 of the year.

As a research administrator, I am worried.
