Data Show Dramatic Slowdown in NIH Grantmaking | Association of American Universities (AAU) A new AAU analysis of publicly available data from the National Institutes of Health shows a significant slowdown in the rate of competitive awards made by the agency so far this fiscal year.

An @AAUniversities analysis of publicly available NIH data shows a sharp slowdown in NIH grantmaking. Delays in spending of Congressional appropriated FY26 funds are already disrupting labs, trainees, and biomedical research putting future discoveries at risk. #SciPol

Must've been a delightful find!

Epstein paid for a conference of top scientists in 2006. His motives are now clear A 2006 conference for physicists in the U.S. Virgin Islands that included a trip to Jeffrey Epstein's private island shows how he used his wealth to build relationships with prominent scientists.

Yes, the facts are slowly emerging. NPR did an insightful story on this last week, though I have issues with how they portrayed one of the story's protagonists, who is a disgraced academic resigning from ASU due to sexual misconduct. www.npr.org/2026/03/09/n...

Here’s why we can’t take the scientists named in the Epstein files at their word Actions speak louder than words when it comes to scientists behaving badly.

It makes a distinction, based on info available. Mostly scientists behaving badly -- tho anyone, incl journalists who reached out to Epstein or whose emails/articles were sent to him show up in the files also. Being identified as "in the know" is tenuous, as I argue: fancycomma.com/2026/03/14/h...

Yeah! Sheeva helped elect a Senator who stands up to bullies...it's the American way.

Yes, AI needs some oversight. No technology works without people running it. The debate about whether to regulate AI makes you wonder what the lawmakers who want absolutely no regulation of AI are cooking up

So intrigued by the closeness of this race (but not surprised)

Nice to see you on here. Thank you for using your voice to actually fix things, unlike...well, you know.

2024 “The end of free speech is the end of science”

Last week: @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social violated policy by using her free speech rights

There are so many people rolling their eyes to each of these posts. I guess we have to do more than eye-roll. It's just difficult to know what the next action really should be.

Sen. Mark Kelly facing military investigation after clashing with Trump A statement from the Pentagon said all service members have a "legal obligation" to "obey lawful orders and that orders are presumed to be lawful."

America needs more patriots like Senator Mark Kelly and fewer miserable cowards like Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth.

Fear is contagious, but so is courage. I remain steadfast in my oath to the Constitution and am grateful to those across the nation who stand with us. Don't give up the ship.

Living for your posts, my friend. So much good stuff

No surprise the Trump NIH director doesn’t understand how science works—doesn’t get NIH has been *the* world-historic leader in innovation.

After all, he’s never actually done any science.
Even before his rightwing pundit career 2020-25, he spent his time with economists, not scientists.
