From the Scholarly Kitchen blog, a discussion by scientists about what the Trump administration’s #NIH #funding #cuts are doing to #science and #scientists: https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2026/09/08/up-close-and-personal-with-the-trump-administrations-nih-funding-cuts-an-interview-with-sylvia-chou-and-alexa-romberg/ 🧪

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%."

Recently an #ECR colleague was told for a ~£5,000 grant that they had no evidence of delivering on something like their submission successfully.

Given that they have a substantial publication record and they had applied the same methods multiple times and delivered (just without third-party funding), this was surprising.

I am wondering how to advise ECRs about getting their first PI grants, if this is really is the situation we are in...

If #schools don’t complete a review & terminate any arrangements deemed “problematic” in the next 2 weeks, they face losing #funding. The purported goal is to protect taxpayer-funded #research from theft & exploitation, the #Pentagon said.

“The Department of War has zero tolerance for academic partnerships that compromise our national security,” Emil Michael, the Pentagon’s chief technology officer, said in a news release.

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?

“Who is Really Bankrolling Rupert Lowe’s Restore Britain?”

“EXCLUSIVE: Byline Times investigates the figures behind the Elon Musk-backed far-right rival to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK”

[..]

“Little is known about Restore Britain’s funding. The far-right party, seen as a disrupter on Reform UK’s right flank, was only formally registered as a party in February, meaning further donations records will begin to appear in the coming months, should they cross the threshold for declaration.”

“There are other reasons to be bullish about #compute #standardisation. Chips from Nvidia’s Hopper range, which includes the H100, have held much of their rental value even as next-generation Blackwell models entered the market.

This flies in the face of a comment in March 2025 by Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s boss, that “when Blackwell starts shipping in volume, you couldn’t give Hoppers away”. It also suggests that #computed erivatives’ underlying #assets will not suddenly become worthless, the risk of which would slow adoption”

Update. This article in Nature makes the case that reusing #OpenData for new purposes is a good solution for "cash-strapped and early-career researchers" who don't have the means to generate their own.
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-00434-x

True enough. But it undervalues the utility of past data for all relevant new projects, even well-funded new projects. The present thread gives some examples. Open data are not only, and not even primarily, for the indigent. They're for the savvy, those who notice their relevance, regardless of means.

"With tensions already high in Minnesota after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer killed Renee Macklin Good, the Trump administration is ramping up the pressure on cities and states to cooperate with its immigration crackdown.

"The administration had already surged federal agents — sometimes accompanied by military troops — to Los Angeles, Portland, Chicago, Charlotte, Memphis, Washington D.C. and New Orleans."

#Trump to cut #funding to #states over #SanctuaryCities

Federal payments will be halted to states over their so-called sanctuary cities on February 1, Trump said Wednesday without elaborating on what funds or which states.

"Effective February first, no more payments will be made by the federal government to states for their corrupt criminal protection centers known as sanctuary cities," Trump wrote in a social media post.

If anyone has $thousands to throw at making a bigger and more lasting change to our lives, we can make that into an effects multiplier with our work at @vulpinelabs - let's talk!
Yes, capitalism sucks. Please also consider ending this stupid system.
