AddisCoder had a State Department grant cancelled. The weirdest part of this: AddisCoder has no, and never has had, any federal grant, from the State Dept or from anywhere else. So what got cancelled? 🤔 (They did want to give us $$ at some point, but we didn’t agree on terms.)

Seeing how the USA now hellbent on emulating their newfound ally of Russia, both at home and abroad, I find myself obliged to repost my dive into Russia's posh cities, just to give your average MAGA a glimpse into the greatness Trump is sure to bring about! Do enjoy!🧵

Fixed it for you: Two essential elements of successful NIH grant applications are 1)Study sections being able to meet and review grants and 2)Councils being able to meet and approve grants...

Cutting NIH to save budget is like cutting the front lobe of brain to lose weight. It’s <1% of body weight yet it governs reasoning and problem solving functions of the brain, basically determining how smart you are. Dumb move to send IT kids to do your brain surgery, America.

No submitted grants can be reviewed and no reviewed grants can be funded. Trump is suffocating biomedical research in America.

A large portion of grants awarded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health cannot be funded for the foreseeable future because of an indefinite hold on submissions to the Federal Register, according to an email reviewed by The Transmitter. By @avaskham thetransmitter.org/funding/federa…

Scoop --> Trump-Musk cuts just resulted in the firing of numerous top researchers at NIH's center for combating Alzheimer's, sources tell me. They predict big setbacks to fighting dementias. This cause was once championed by *Republicans.* Details here: newrepublic.com/article/191702…

I was supposed to have an NIH study section (KEDD) today but it was "postponed TBD" yesterday. NIH can't make awards if it can't publicly announce its study section and Council meetings in the Federal Register. No meeting has been added since Jan 21 thetransmitter.org/funding/federa…

Lets set the record straight: 🇧🇦 was de facto forcibly divided by EU powers in 1992-1995. Zero Bosnian involvement in key proposals for division. The 51:49 formula was devised by the Euros at a meeting of their foreign ministers. Perl clutching over UKR by EU is ridiculous.

I am recruiting for postdoctoral and technician positions at UCSD. If anyone with relevant skills/interests has lost funding due to the anti-DEI jihad or the NIH purge, I’m open to discussion of ways we can try to help out.

It’s no accident because the actual policy agenda coming down the pike is: defunding science; undercutting vaccines; cutting Medicaid; deregulating polluters; & upward wealth redistribution, all of which will only *exacerbate* impact of chronic disease on population health.

My time in industry convinced me of the importance of basic, government funded science research. It was crazy how much of the stuff we did was based directly on academic research that in-and-of-itself would have been too risky and/or too low-return for the company to do
