Sorry everyone, but I plan to ph@se 0ut this acct by the end of this year. I love my network but the idea of maintaining a professional thread of information here without rational ads and logic is no longer appealing.
Besides LinkedIn, suggestions? Thre@ds or Blu3sky?

Wonderful man. He inspired my whole career.
I’ll follow up with a personal story soon.

My favorite part is where he misspells Physical Review Letters twice like we wouldn’t notice. 🤣

Largest magnitude alumni “gifts” to Yale:
$250M - Johnson
$160M - Bass
$100M - Broad Foundation
($180M/yr) - Vance and NIH
Just the facts here.

Yes, let’s pretend the cut isn’t punitive.
What you propose is done all of the time. Indirect costs are proposed, rationalized, defended, and reviewed constantly.
How does a single number like 15% for all unis get generated? It was arbitrary. Prove otherwise.

Scientists and universities: defend indirects as a concept but not current indirect rates. Don't think there's waste in those numbers? We (US science) spend $4.5 billion on journals. That is HALF of the proposed cuts in indirects, and eliminating that spending would make science better!

Through our careers as scientists, there have been and will be several challenges that arise. How we weather challenges and persevere is more important than the short-term losses.
Contact your professional network and reach out to support each other. We are in this together.

A conversation with a fiscal conservative about the NIH cuts to indirect costs:
Me: My Alma Mater could lose up to $200M in promised funding
Them: What is their endowment?
Me: Endowment isn’t for this purpose. Are you proposing we tax accumulated wealth?
Them: (crickets)

There is no “profit margin” on grants. They are net zero or run at a loss.

Got vaccinated today (tetanus and shingles). Modern medicine.
Just search "pictures of tetanus and shingles victims" and you won't hesitate to get yours.

End of Semester:
Pulling hair out trying to balance research deadlines, grading, committee meetings and wondering why I do this to myself.
Week before semester starts:
Sure, I'll sign up for everything that looks interesting!
