Fulbright students at our university got only a few days notice that their stipends would be affected by a pause at Dept of State. Then they received only 25% of their regular stipend. Cruel treatment of young scholars and we are scrambling to help. #AcademicSky

NIH funding is frozen. @annikabarber.bsky.social is keeping score: 50%+ of study sections planned for this year (77/148) have been cancelled.
I talked to Dr. Barber about why these delays are disastrous, and why scientists should be pooling info and speaking up: www.chronicle.com/article/nih-...

NIH Funding Is at a Standstill. This Professor Is Tracking the Delays.
More than half of the NIH grant-review meetings that were supposed to take place this year have been cancelled, she says. “Without these meetings happening, nothing can get funded.”

CDC will no longer process transgender data
The agency's decision will likely affect a number of federal health surveillance systems that serve as critical resources for researchers.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is still blocking most ongoing scientific funding over concerns about “diversity, equity and inclusion” (DEI).
The freeze has continued even after top NIH officials acknowledged that continuing to block the funding would violate a federal court order.

NIH is again throttling research funding in defiance of a federal court order
A freeze on "new and continuation awards" will "remain in place" pending DEI review, states a new internal memo.

Quick update: @charles_gaba has completed uploading the archives of the full FDA site! Enjoy the easy of navigation.
Next up, we're converting the CDC archive to this more convenient drop-down menu format.
And after that, more archiving from more agencies.

Eugenicist ideals are thriving in this administration. Simply dangerous.
Bravo to Sen. Alsobrooks for her question.
“We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule as Whites because their immune system is better than ours.” — RFK Jr
This is the deadlier version of the racist myth that Black people feel less pain, leading to denied pain meds.
