An incredible description of a retroactively applied alternate history analysis demonstrating the impact of what medical advancements we would be without with a 40% reduction to the NIHs budget.
This may be the most important paper ever published about NIH funded research.

What if NIH had been 40% smaller?
Replaying history with less NIH funding shows widespread impacts on drug-linked research

These phrases are almost funny, because they are over-synonymized. The authors presumably were trying to cover up plagiarism by using a tool that changes words into synonyms, so they would not be detected by a plagiarism detection tool.

Rising global temperatures can influence the timing of events, such as when crops are ready to plant and harvest and when flowers and trees bloom.
One example is the timing of the peak cherry tree blossom in Kyoto, Japan, where records stretch back to the ninth century — that’s over 1200 years.

There was a lot of #AcademicFreedom, good scholarship, and independent thought in German universities before Hitler. After Hitler had risen to power, many academics fled the country. Some resisted the Nazi regime and were persecuted. Most adapted to a new situation. Here are some examples. 1/n
