Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Yay: Most postponed study sections have been rescheduled at this point.

Yikes: To do this, CSR has scheduled *289* study sections from 03/24-05/16/2025. For comparison, there were only 96 study sections from 3/24-5/17/2024. And NIH still plans to RIF more staff. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Things I learned today: it’s medRxiv (pronounced "med-archive") 🤯
Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n
Homepage - openRxiv
openRxiv is an independent non-profit, the new organizational home for bioRxiv and medRxiv, enabling researchers to instantly share groundbreaking findings with the global scientific community.

Quick request:

Please do contact us if you're a scientist at a university or outside NIH, and you serve on an #NIH council or advisory board, including the intramural Board of Scientific Counselor review boards (the reviews that impose high standards on NIH!)

We'd love to be in touch.

Here are some facts about "facilities and administrative" (F&A) costs, what we in the business call "indirects" and what Musk is calling "overhead" as he tries to convince Americans with being ok with cutting billions on dollars from medical and public health research at universities & hospitals

NEW — I'm told FDA supervisors called employees today to stress return to office dates in apparent effort to pressure them into taking deferred resignation deal & didn't mention deadline is no longer tonight (thanks to court order). Being done by phone to avoid paper trail for unions, source says.

If you would like to see how much economic activity and grants and how many people are employed through NIH in your state, just use this handy website.

And then contact your Congressional Rep and tell them to prioritize NIH. www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Great work by CAsToR’s NIH and CISNET colleagues showing the major contributions of prevention to reduce mortality from 5 major cancers, with smoking cessation contributing the lion’s share of the deaths averted: 3.45 million from lung cancer alone.
