FRAUD ALERT: I have nothing to do with these phony books using my name on the cover. I have not written a memoir or partnered/inspired any cookbooks!
Attempts to get Amazon to take these down have gone nowhere.

The Society for Developmental Biology has released a statement on how the Abrupt Dismissal of NIH and NSF Staff Undermines Government Efficiency. bit.ly/3X9VEKd
The Society for Developmental Biology (SDB) is alarmed by the recent workforce reductions at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and other federal research agencies. These sudden and far-reaching cutbacks jeopardize the breadth and depth of scientific inquiry—including in the field of developmental biology—and imperil immediate research goals, as well as long-term innovation, and the training of the next generation of scientists. These dismissals do not enhance government efficiency. To the contrary, they eliminate highly trained experts, grant administrators, and support staff whose collective knowledge underpins critical discovery and fuels scientific momentum. Without their efforts, essential research— including research on birth defects, which kill twice as many children as cancer—will face considerable delays. The loss of such institutional memory will also undermine the capacity of these agencies to evaluate grants, maintain databases, and spearhead cutting-edge projects. The SDB acknowledges the value of periodically reviewing and updating agency operations; however, large-scale workforce reductions taken without transparent input from those knowledgeable about these essential and complex agencies risks weakening the entire United States research enterprise. The consequences extend far beyond the laboratory bench, reducing our global competitiveness and hindering the development of breakthrough interventions for human health. Moreover, these actions, and the downstream effects on research teams, are causing trainees to rethink scientific research as a career. In short, these actions will erode the country’s leadership in the sciences, stifle innovation, limit job growth, and compromise the well-being of everyone in our society.

The Society for Developmental Biology has released a statement on the Unprecedented Disruptions to Biomedical Research in the United States.
Scientific research is a driving force behind human progress. It fuels medical breakthroughs, spurs technological innovations and drives economic growth. Federal funding of research by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) is absolutely critical for ensuring that the U.S. maintains its global leadership in science and technology. The unprecedented freeze on the review and issuance of federal research grants is already negatively impacting research and could have significant ripple effects. Ongoing studies may lose momentum if grant renewals or supplement requests are delayed, slowing scientific progress on research the NIH has already invested in. Researchers affiliated with the Society for Developmental Biology carry out critical research on birth defects, which kill twice as many children as cancer does. Slowed progress will delay the development of new therapies and diagnostics, and thus have real public health implications. In 2019, the total estimated cost of birth defect–associated hospitalizations was $22.2 billion. Scientific research is also critical to the U.S. economy more broadly. In 2023 alone NIH funded research not only directly supported 412 thousand jobs, but its overall economic impact rippled out to all sectors of the economy driving more than $92.89 billion in economic activity across all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. It is estimated that every dollar of NIH funding generates $2.46 dollars of economic activity. Finally, federal research funding not only drives impactful research discoveries but also supports the training of the scientists, engineers, and innovators of the future. University laboratories, funded by federal grants, serve as essential training grounds for the next generation of researchers even as they push the boundaries of knowledge. This training prepares young scientists for leadership roles in both academia and industry, helping to ensure that the scientific workforce r…

Science takes time - a lot of time. Time that is more and more difficult to make available because of increased workloads. Time that exceeds the temporary contracts of postdocs and PhDs.

I have been thinking about this conversation we are having about data and grants - and I think what motivates it is the question of "who is supposed to pay for preliminary data?" If you're a junior prof, it can seem like a catch-22: I need money to generate data, but I can't get money without data.
