🧠 How You Think About Being Alone Matters

A new study finds that people who see solitude negatively feel lonelier - while those with positive views feel less lonely. Media portrayals may shape this effect.

DEI programs were created to give everyone who meet objective standards a fair shot at serving our country. Diversity has changed America for the BETTER. Rolling back these programs and offices with an executive order is completely disgraceful.

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

My NIH study section that was to meet tomorrow was one of those canceled. This represents many months of work by the applicants and by the NIH staff and reviewers. Devastating is the correct word.

The panic you're seeing on social media about this reflects how critical NIH funding is for most scientific research in the US, and relatedly the funding of universities, healthcare systems, and research organizations. Health spending constitutes 18% of GDP. NIH funding is deeply enmeshed in it.

If you’ve been directly impacted by a pause or cancellation of an NIH study session, we @forbes.com would like to talk to you

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

AND he's going to tax scholarships and fellowships besides.
