New study: "Shortly after major policy changes to US science funding began in early 2025, we surveyed 916 young biomedical scientists – PhD students and postdoctoral researchers – about their career intentions and expectations…Barely half of respondents now say they are likely to remain in academia, down 22% from how they felt six months earlier. The fraction likely to stay in the United States fell by 21%."

"When governments and big companies borrow money, they don’t ask a bank for a loan. Instead, they sell IOUs to investors and promise to repay the money with a certain interest rate. If those IOUs are set to be repaid many years from now, they’re called #bonds".
"Rising prices make bond purchasers think that the nominal annual fixed interest they will get from the bond will be devalued over time by inflation, so the real return they get will fall. So bond holders will only buy bonds in the secondary market at lower prices to compensate. As we have explained above, falling bond prices means higher yields. Also governments issuing new bonds will have to offer higher fixed rates to attract new purchasers."

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦫🗳️ Researchers at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory launched Fat Marmot Week, a voting #contest celebrating yellow-bellied #marmots fattened for #winter.
Last winter’s low #snowpack killed two-thirds of one study #population, and federal #funding cuts shrank the team. The decades-old #study is raising #money through #donations and a #memecoin to keep going.

“Labour’s biggest donors backed Burnham for PM, disclosures reveal”
by Ethan Shone in OpenDemocracy.net
@uk_politics
@UKLabour
@israellobby“Andy Burnham’s campaign to replace Keir Starmer was backed with more than £340,000 in large donations, primarily from figures associated with Keir Starmer’s leadership, including the scandal-ridden think tank recently rebranded as ThinkLabour.
Much of the cash came from Lord Sainsbury, a New Labour minister who also funds Labour Together alongside a small number of high-net-worth mega donors, including Gary Lubner, a South African billionaire who also donated to Burnham’s campaign”

Edit: raised $50 so far. Please help us get that other $700 covered ASAP? If you can't cover it all, any part of it you can cover is less still to raise.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but if we can't raise Atha and Inara the $750 to cover immigration bureaucracy within the next week, a cascade of problems will unfold that jeopardizes the future of not only Atha and Inara, but also the entire project of the Vulpibus. Problems including a $500 fine imposed in court, points on the license, more expensive insurance, inability to get paid work in the USA and probably inability to leave the USA for any chosen reason too. Problems also potentially including deportation of Atha back to the UK.
USCIS made a mistake and they are leaving it to us to pick up the pieces, and fast.
Can you help?

The saga illustrates the stakes as the #Trump admin is completing a set of rules that would provide the president even GREATER CONTROL over more than $1 TRILLION in annual #federal #grants. To critics, the new #regulation would only make it easier for Trump to strike wider tranches of congressionally approved #funding over #political differences.

Hmmmm… there’s going to be a whole lot of chinwagging about these proposed changes to #TertiaryEducationGovernance and #Funding I wager. While robust discussion and consultation is a must for any successful change, we will only truly know its worth in its implementation.
“Under the legislation, which was introduced into parliament late last week, universities will be given a hard cap on how many domestic students they can enrol under a new "managed growth" funding system.
Those numbers will be negotiated with a new bureaucracy called the Australian Tertiary Education Commission (ATEC), which will oversee funding and sector performance.”

#Trump signed into #law after the longest ever #GovernmentShutdown in 2019 #legislation to ensure #FederalWorkers receive back pay during any federal #funding lapse. But in the new memo, his #OMB [#RussVought] says #backpay must be provided by #Congress, if it chooses to do so, as part of any bill to fund the govt.
The move by the admin was widely seen as a strong-arm tactic — a way to pressure lawmakers to reopen the govt, now in the 7th day of a #shutdown.

But by a 2-to-1 vote, the appeals court panel ruled that under the #Impoundment Control Act of 1974, only the Government Accountability Office [#USGAO], which serves as #Congress's independent #watchdog, could challenge #Trump’s efforts to withhold #ForeignAid funding. The panel found that groups that receive government #funding — in this instance, a number of #global #health nonprofits — do not have cause to challenge Trump’s funding cuts.

#Trump Can Withhold Billions in #Aid, #AppealsCourt Rules
In a 2-to-1 vote, a federal appeals court panel ruled that #ForeignAid groups who sued to recover funds that #Trump froze lacked the legal right to bring the challenge.
The decision, which centered on Trump’s authority to withhold #funding already appropriated by #Congress, handed the White House a significant victory.

One of the “dark secrets” (if it's a secret at all) in #academia and public #research in general is that political power *at best* only weakly correlates with scientific leadership.
There's little doubt that political power *helps* to make good science, because —as I mentioned upthread— science needs resources, and political power helps to gather such resources (especially the money to acquire instruments and talent): someone who is consistently put in charge of million-dollars projects will have way more opportunities to gather a research group with enough talent (and tools) to make better science than an individual or small-group of talented researchers with no money at all.
Now, one would think that if someone gets consistently put in charge of million-dollars projects it's because they have the kind of scientific recognition (leadership) that calls for said funding. And while that's definitely the case in the sense that ”it does happen”, it's not true in general. Way too often these assignments follow the path of political maneuvering and pressuring from “interest groups” that has little to do —if at all— with the actual scientific recognition of the individual —and that's before even getting into where said recognition, if present at all, is coming from.
