Gotta get them all.
So it wasn't about waste and efficiency, eh? It was about firing all the well qualified people of color and to replace them with mediocre white doods.
He doesn’t need to “realign”. Christ said feed the hungry, heal the sick and love thy neighbor. And the absurdly rich suck.
Weirdly, those are considered wacky leftie progressive goals.

A line graph showing the number of applications for fiscal years 2015-2025 as a function of percentile score. The curve for fiscal year 2025 appears to be slightly higher than in previous fiscal years.
How about the number of applications?
Examination of the number of applications are a function of percentile reveal that (1) The number is relatively constant but a bit noisy; and (2) The number of applications in fiscal year 2025 appears to be somewhat higher than in previous fiscal years

Here is a Feedback Loop post from 2009.

These posts were very popular and also made it easier for NIGMS program officers to communicate with applicants since they could refer to publicly available data.

When your tuff guy talk conflicts with your violating the Constitution evasion….
Looking forward to this convo tomorrow at 1pm Eastern! A recording will be available after!
The only thing we can control is submitting the best proposals we can and max out the 6 sub per year limit, and go in as Co-Investigator on as many other proposals as possible. Maximize the chances by maximizing submissions. Everything else is up to the fates and not worth spending mental energy on
For me, personally, it depends. If science is still deciding who and what gets funded, only with decreasing (virtual) paylines, yeah, I'll still review.
If political hacks are making the funding decisions, then no, I won't review.
Which will t be? IDK. We have to wait and see for a couple cycles.

The “Energy President” is sure burning up a lot of this planet’s fixed amount of oil for a guy who claims Energy is the importentest thing.
PFAs (people from away) all mad at us for not supporting Mills don't know she vetoed or sat on every progressive bill put in front of her for 8 years.
She refused to sign the bill stopping PDs from cooperating with ICE, just a few weeks before the ICE surge began in ME.
She's Collins lite.
I’ve seen ppl discuss how over 50% of their grants wouldn’t have been awarded @ current success rates. That’s an important reflection.
What about the cost of living and the benefits you received at the start of your career? Expectations are higher, and many schools aren’t even offering startup $
His elves are on strike?
Nick Saban doesn’t like the way the NIL and transfer portal makes it so clear coaches have no real role other than getting the best athletes on the field for their team?
So many of the Obama-Biden coalition are struggling to accept that they are simply not needed in an authoritarian regime. Still talking nudges and data fixes as a strongman wipes his butt with the bill of rights is absolutely delusional.

Ars Technica: Americans trust Fauci over RFK Jr. and career scientists over Trump officials
RFK Jr. has tried hard to villainize Fauci. Americans still trust Fauci more.

Happened to CDC, assuming future investigations will eventually find off-record emails or texts that prove the Guinea-Bissau HepB study wasn't exactly "unsolicited".

When I was coming up (the 90s) NIH's payline was about 20% - i.e. 80% of research proposals went unfunded - and we thought that was brutally competitive. With today's 6% payline you'd have to be nuts to go into academic biomedical research (from which most modern medical advances spring).
The NIMH effective payline is 3%.

Go to the source link in that graph and you can download the data table. To facilitate whatever analysis you desire.
Good news today: @standupforscience.bsky.social is organizing rallies for science. 💪
Bad news:
Funded science is way down.
This is why I said wks ago the budget bill was “bad because it doesn’t go far enough.” How the science agencies are governed matters!!! This is killing labs. 🧪
