Conference bullies. It's not on, for senior researchers to humiliate junior colleagues in public at conferences. The chairperson, other researchers or maybe even you need to step in. #PhDchat #ECRchat #postdoc #PhDforum

*clears throat* Please don't wish for the children of homophobes to be queer. Please don't wish for the children of transphobes to be trans. Please don't wish for the children of anti-vaxxers to be autistic or disabled. Our identities are not a punishment for bigotry.

This is eerily familiar.
We decided we need faculty input for this one, so time for a survey! Would you prefer we increase your course load or cut your take home pay?

Kind of hard to do science when the electric bill doesn’t get paid.
Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.

It's time to explain a little more about what 'diversity' and DEI initiatives mean in the context of NIH and NSF grants. One of NIH's funding mechanisms is called a 'diversity supplement.' What this means is that if an investigator already has a funded NIH grant (see my earlier

Don’t worry about pausing your tenure clock. The board eliminated tenure. And your program.

Don’t pretend to be upset about the pause on NSF and NIH grants. You weren’t getting funded anyway. And no you can’t pause your tenure clock.

I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n

Have been thinking that the next few years might really be a test of who was really invested in doing the work all along vs. who jumped on board when it was convenient, popular, and, dare I say, lucrative to do so.
