I am focused on the Stand Up for Science events today, but I will dig into these data early next week.
I was continuously funded from when I started my independent career in 1988 until I move to NIH in 2003, usually with multiple grants.

Here is the "effective payline" for each institute, estimated (by Claude) as the percentile where one can expect 80% probability of funding from a logistic regression fit. The effective payline has gone from a historic ~12% to 6% in 2025.
back in the day students thought they'd learned something once they'd highlighted it in a book. now they think they've learned something when their chatbot has summarized it for them
Same here at UC Davis. Total waste of time, and just a cya requirement. If you add up all the faculty hours wasted on this multiplied by faculty pay for those hours it would be a substantial cost to the taxpayer.
Our new single "Solstice Motel" is officially out now!
Itβs a song about that heavy moment of standing in the doorwayβdeciding whether to stay in a bad situation or finally drive away into the dark.
Crank the volume and listen on Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/4enNaf...

I'm definitely not a fan of Reagan, and not even a huge fan of Newsom though he's growing on me a little... but let's not ding him for simply following CA law
For all the dolts on here who think they're clever... Newsom is required by law to proclaim February 6 as "Ronald Reagan Day." This obligation stems from California law (SB 944, 2010) that mandates the Governor to annually proclaim this day to honor the former California Governor and U.S. President
wow. make america sick again
I had two thoughts after watching some of the Pam Bondi hearing today. The first is that one of the Senators she insulted and lied to may well be the Attorney General in the future. The other is that although Nixon did not go to prison, his Attorney General did.

California's Prop 50 redistricting plan was upheld by the Supreme Court. This is huge for the midterms and control of the House.
Democracy Dies in Darkness
No struggling newspaper ever saved itself by becoming a worse and less essential product. But what's happening today at the @washingtonpost.com is not just the latest devastating contraction of the news industry; it's the gutting of an American institution vital for a healthy society
βDemocracy dies in darknessβ turns out to have been a goal, not a warning.
Some days I feel like we're going over the cliff, other days I'm more hopeful. Either way, I'm just Holding On. I hope you are too. john-henderson.bandcamp.com/track/holdin...
I'm putting together a playlist of protest music, especially songs inspired by the current situation in Minneapolis and the US generally, with some classic tracks sprinkled in.

Great thread on the risks of open data. No oneβs advocating a return to unavailable data sets, but itβs clear current subject protections are inadequate.
