in case anyone was wondering what columbia is like, our term paper was cancelled bc they cant be graded during the grad student strike and the students asked our prof if he could still release the prompts so they could write them and discuss it during his office hours

My sister and I had a playdate yesterday. When we were born, our litter was named "Schitt's Creek." We are formerly known as Alexis and David Rose. I know I know, "Ew, David." #SchittsCreek #yale

NIH analysis on impact of Covid on our science. The serious consequences are clear on entire community but esp. on young scientists & people with young kids. How do we achieve a meaningful recovery & preserve a great future for science?⁦@NIHDirector nexus.od.nih.gov/all/2021/03/25…

President Biden: "Back in the sixties we used to invest a little over 2% of our GDP in pure research and investment in science. Today it's 0.7%. I'm going to change that." If the Biden administration brings us back to 2%, that would mean $418.6 billion for research today.

Gender-inclusive language: In 2016, Yale changed from using "master" to "head" for faculty leadership roles. After the change, students (n=341) were less likely to think of men when asked to come up with an example of someone in the leadership role.

I stepped down from NIH study section NANO this week. Between NANO & the 32 other study sections I have served ad hoc, I learned many things about how to construct a good grant. Thus, I give you a song themed thread of potentially helpful grant tips!
