For a while, they said if you needed tech help, ask a 10yo. But current 10-20yos didn't have to explore and click around and futz with things to get them to work, so if it's not immediately obvious, they can't do it.
Basically if you're 30-50 you're just doing tech support for everyone forever.

Watch how seismometers recorded the passing earthquake waves from the magnitude 8.8 earthquake off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula.
Each dot in this animation is a seismic station—red 🔴 means the ground moved up, blue 🔵 means it moved down.

I have no words for how bad this is for biomedical research and higher education, especially medical schools. And to have it hit unexpectedly in the middle of the fiscal/academic year...
⚠️ Effective Monday 2/10/25, NIH indirect rate capped at 15%. Applies to existing & future grants.

Is this the break the glass moment for university administrators who have been silent so far about the attack on science?
