Higher education is under attack in Colorado. YOUR voice CAN make a difference - Visit aaupcsu.org/2025/07/13/d... for help to email CSU administrators and CO representatives. #AAUPCSU, #DefendCSU.
American Association of University Professors Colorado State University, Fort Collins Image of university icon (labeled 'CSU') in rays of light with gathering storm clouds (labeled 'AFL') on the horizon. Help Protect CSU and Defend Democracy The Trump administration and its allies are attacking higher education and trying to pressure CSU into: * closing student centers and ceasing services that benefit all students. * changing our curriculum. * discontinuing a wide range of public-serving research projects. The CSU administration wants to defend student success and academic freedom, but as the pressure mounts, they need to hear from YOU! Send an email to our administrative and political representatives. Let them know that you care about academic freedom, student success, and the well being of our community’s largest employer. Stand with the AAUP-CSU, so we can continue to serve you. https://aaupcsu.org/2025/07/13/defend-csu/ Join AAUP-CSU – Become a Defender for Higher Education - https://aaupcsu.org/join/

I was just looking at my retirement investments over the past two years. They were doing great up until Jan 19, 2025, but I am worried that someone has been stealing from us since Jan 20, 2025. Anyone else notice any shifty or illeagal activities over the past three months?
Figure showing the last two years of the market. First, there was a period of sustained growth from April 20, 2023 to Jan 19, 2022, but the last two months (since Trump was sworn into office) have been a complete disaster.

NIH is back up and calls to genbank/BLAST are working fine this morning. From the outage reports, it looks like it was down for ~6 hours. That is kind of terrible and I hope that it was not a politically motivated outage (e.g., like censoring diversity related messages).
