Universities forge a bumpy new path on indirect research costs. by Krystal Vasquez. Illustration of a university building in front of dollar bills partially obscuring Donald Trump’s face.
In response to indirect cost rate caps, higher education organizations created a new model that aims to capture the true cost of research. cen.acs.org/policy/resea...

Researchers have found that multidrug-resistant bacteria from hospitals are also highly resistant to the common herbicide glyphosate. The study sparks concerns that exposure to the common chemical could be allowing drug-resistant bacteria to thrive.

My Welch vacuum pump
WHY does my pump make a HORRIBLE ear-splitting racket for 5-45 min after turning it on. After that time it settles down. Doesn't seem to be related to amount or cleanliness of oil, or the belt. I think it's in the oil reservoir. 🧪 #chemsky
