Unlawful grant terminations harm young scientists and threaten America's scientific future. FASEB and leading scientific organizations call for the immediate restoration of funding that supports the next generation of researchers. Read more: hubs.ly/Q03kWL980

The termination of @NIH's MOSAIC program is a massive loss for the next generation of researchers and threatens the future of the research workforce and human health. We remain committed to supporting MOSAIC Scholars with critical professional development resources for the remainder of the award and beyond. Read our full statement: bit.ly/4i1aOc4
Imagine trying to do biomedical scientific research without a lab to do it in. Last I checked, you can't house model organisms, or MRI machines, or safely stored infectious viruses in your home office. These facilities are necessary for life-saving research and they! cost! money!
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.

Federal restrictions and funding freezes threaten vital research and halts scientific progress that benefits all Americans.
Act now and join fellow #NeuroAdvocates in urging Congress to protect congressionally approved funding and ensure uninterrupted support for the scientific workforce.

During negotiations with @TRUhopkins yesterday, administrators asked "if it was really true that workers were asked to take on additional unpaid work over the course of their degree."
Yes, and its how some departments are able to function at all. 🧵(1/5)
However, those 3900, now paid, hours do not include the unpaid labor students are often asked to give in administrative work just for the basic requirements of the PhD Program to be met, like administering qualification exams. (4/5)

Sending a 🗣️ out to former FASEB SciPol Fellow @GraciousSteward whose fact sheet on the CHIPS+Science Act went viral this week during Capitol Hill Day! Grace was mentored by @JRobinsonHamm during her fellowship. See Grace's work at bitly.ws/BUPz!
As someone looking for potential positions after my PhD, when a job posting doesn't include an expected salary range, is that generally a red flag for the position and/or company? Or no?

Really stoked to see that @NSF @NCSESgov will be piloting sexual orientation and gender identity data collection questions on the 2024 Survey of Earned Doctorates! We'll finally have national landscape data on this PhD population 🎉👏

I'm monitoring a federal agency meeting and one of the committee members just said that the word disability is not used by people who are physically disadvantaged anymore, and maybe the committee should use differently abled.
😲😡
I'm. Exploding.
