If you are on a study section that will not be reviewing diversity fellowships but will be reviewing "regular" fellowships, your next move is clear. Do not participate in the review unless all submissions can be reviewed together. Reclassify diversity grants as "regular" grants & review them all

Every single stupid conversation I’ve had with a scientist about anticipatory obedience and historical comparisons over the last week has had me thinking about how scientists’ political incompetence is one of the major arguments for a liberal arts education Like you’re literally a tool without it

The simplest reason that Trump should not cut NIH overhead rates is that it is illegal. The reason it is illegal is that Congress passed a law to stop Trump from changing the rates the last time he tried to do so. The law is clear; the only real ambiguity is whether Trump still follows the law.

If Congressional Democrats vote for a budget and debt ceiling increase while Trump and Musk are breaking very serious laws and usurping Congress's power of the purse, it'll be enablement. Validation. A pathetic path to historical infamy. I strongly agree with @brianbeutler.bsky.social. Take a stand.

WE LIVED ON THE HORIZON is now out in the world. It's the first "timely" book I've written--wholly unintentional, I assure you. If you've been thinking about AI, revolution, altruism, the future, gender, aging, and what care is ... it might be the book for you.
