Periodic reminder that my lab @EmoryUniversity is looking for people! We're seeking postdocs (hi @neurophd_emory grads!) and will be hiring a new technician next year. We use cutting-edge tools to study neural circuits and behavior in flies 🧠🪰🔬🧬 devinenilab.org/join-us

BOA reps on X will only help ppl with X accounts and not any other means even though I DMed her email. My employee has already called BOA directly and gone there in person and they still won't let her access her own money. This has to be illegal - anyone know how we can escalate?

WTF @BankofAmerica closed my employee’s account without any notice and won’t let her access her own money and won’t provide help in person or over the phone other than saying they are “investigating”. This is her only account and she literally can’t pay bills or buy things!!

Many grants like this were just terminated. These are researchers actively developing cures that would likely save thousands of lives. Terminating the research makes absolutely no sense unless your goal is to have more people get sick and die.

Those dollars go to regular people who work at universities, from grad students to custodial staff, and flow out to hundreds of companies that make products for research labs. Halting NIH funding means people lose their jobs, in addition to slowing down treatments for diseases.

Finally, someone is reporting on how funding of new NIH grants is effectively frozen due to an administrative block 👇 Grants already submitted cannot be reviewed, and grants already reviewed with excellent scores cannot be funded. This is the opposite of "efficiency".

Thousands of workers were fired from CDC, NIH, & other agencies, even if they had excellent performance reviews. These are people with critical jobs like monitoring disease outbreaks or developing cancer drugs. Their salaries are a miniscule % of the budget. This makes no sense.

Anyone supporting mass layoffs should read this thread from fired federal workers. These are real people. "I make $50k a year & work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer." reddit.com/r/fednews/comment…

The administration is firing as many ppl as it thinks it can legally fire without any consideration of how important their jobs are or how much $ will actually be saved. Disease control, cancer research... these indiscriminate cuts will affect ALL of us npr.org/sections/shots-healt…
