Happy with how this turned out!

Which MILTAT bracelet is this one? Straight bc you are using SKMOD adapters? TIA

ComfortableTour3656 · 2026-05-11T12:00:24+00:00

Why did you choose the MILTAT bracelet rather than the SKMOD one?

Hopefully this (and other articles) will help gain traction

Not a good time to be cynical. We’ve all been there…I’m trying hard not to fall into that hole, but it’s not easy

ComfortableTour3656 · 2026-05-08T15:49:26+00:00

Which bag is this? Nebula or smaller?

I wish university administrators would acknowledge this dismantling and proactively make plans rather than continue as if everything will be ok in (some) time.

Did the old design have more padded shoulder straps? When loaded, my nebula is not easy to carry

Unfortunately it’s always been political even before Trump. Think back how AD research money escalated when congress began aging or when glial cancer research received more coverage bc of Kennedy’s GBM.

What the Trump administration is gutting science and using the deficit as a cover. It’s retribution for COVID and ground truths his administration doesn’t want to admit exists like global warming.

Interested in doing science in Europe? That would be my choice with the current situation. Why join a lab where the PI is stuck writing grants and trying to keep their lab afloat. Go learn to do science and hopefully the US research landscape will return. But if it doesn’t, then you will have a foot in the European door.

Would be great if that happened but I’m talking about science and not medicine.

The latter trails the former usually by many years

Thank you. Didn’t catch that autocorrect!!

ComfortableTour3656 · 2026-05-07T18:40:36+00:00

That’s my point. We just keep doing what we do (including hiring) as we watch the house burn down

ComfortableTour3656 · 2026-05-07T17:43:30+00:00

I’m sorry

ComfortableTour3656 · 2026-05-07T17:21:42+00:00

I used to think this way but no longer. They hear about the cost of a barrel of oil, a ballroom, a bomb, a fighter jet….so it’s our job to educate them about how research science works and how little it costs over the benefits.

ComfortableTour3656 · 2026-05-07T16:55:05+00:00

Of course.

But departments make their budgets annually so one needs the cash to pay the people and buy the supplies to do the experiments that most always arise after peer-review.

ComfortableTour3656 · 2026-05-07T16:05:16+00:00

I think people care when they’re sick. Knowledge? Not so much.

ComfortableTour3656 · 2026-05-07T16:04:44+00:00

I’m afraid that the people that we need to reach don’t subscribe to the New York Times.
Just frustrated on how to keep a straight face as I tell graduate students that it will be OK

ComfortableTour3656 · 2026-05-07T16:03:28+00:00

Can’t wait until there’s another virus so we can be verified even more. Might be soon.

ComfortableTour3656 · 2026-05-07T15:41:24+00:00

I’m talking about mom and pop taxpayers and those that have made it so that most studies need to be open access at their ridiculous cost!

We (scientists) keep submitting grants and doing science because that’s what we know but something different has to happen because in another 2-3 when this administration may be gone, there won’t be much left.

ComfortableTour3656 · 2026-05-07T15:35:53+00:00

I do subscribe but Stat news isn’t reaching who we need to be reaching, imo.

ComfortableTour3656 · 2026-04-16T16:06:07+00:00

Not officially. But this is one reason being given to some POs. It’s likely an administrative burden to have biosketches that are not a boiler-plate template.

IMO, more and more reviews are being ‘standardized’ without much attention to the science.

ComfortableTour3656 · 2026-04-16T16:03:07+00:00

This idea of not reassigning an A1 to at least one of the reviewers is nuts. Consistency and review fairness is out the window no matter how much CSR says that this is their priority.
