Veterinary college nearly doubles National Institutes of Health funding, climbs to No. 13 nationally Strategic investment in faculty, infrastructure, and research culture produced the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine's strongest year of federal funding on record.

As department head I make a few decisions including having refreshments at faculty meeting. Should I be trusted with such decisions? @mikefeigin.bsky.social thoughts?

Why we won’t be funding open access publishing any more - Cancer Research UK - Cancer News The open access movement was bold and promising, but ultimately disappointing. Now is the time to stop and call for a new way to make publishing work…

As an EIC of society journal I am obviously biased. Butmany issues in this article are due to supporting for profit journals. Instead of throwing the baby out with the bathwater, @cruk-mi.bsky.social would be better served by supporting society journals news.cancerresearchuk.org/2026/04/01/w...

Take home is that if @beckman-foundation.bsky.social focuses on funding only a select number of universities then why bother posting open calls. Look, it's a private org and they can do what they want with their money. But it would help if they asked why is this happening

Congrats to the awardees. Going through their data, they've funded 61 fellowships since 2023. The graph shows the distribution of funded institutes. Nearly half of the awardees come from either Caltech, Berkeley, or MIT.

I only wish that one day @kenmoredave and his ilk realize that making a list of jews and calling them zionists isn't the flex they thinks it is.

The worst type of racism is the one where one either doesn't know they're being racist or are too lazy to care as long as whatever narrative one is repeating fits their framing

We all want it to end - and has to because hate and fear are now normalized. But people not from the region who are now putting Hamas and Hezzbolah as well as bibi and trump on pedestals need to understand how much harm they are doing and shoulder some of that blame

Im confused… are Israeli citizens sleeping in bomb shelters to blame for Hezzbalah launching missles at civilians in Haifa, Kiryat Shemona and all the kibbutzim along the border including the one where I lived? No. Just like Iranians or lebanese going through the same thing now dont deserve it.
