New article by Ryno Kruger where he shows that facial dominance predicts intelligence. Children expect dominant-looking individuals to be "really smart." Less consistent in these data was a gender stereotype about intelligence. nature.com/articles/s4159…

If you want to “Make America Healthy Again,” one of the worst things you can do is slash the budget of the world's largest public funder of biomedical research, the National Institutes of Health.

Straight 🔥🔥🔥from Michael S Roth on the need for college presidents to reject anticipatory obedience and speak out in defense of their sector. slate.com/life/2025/02/c…

Hi GA AG Chris Carr I called your office today to voice my concern about Georgia not working to protect the $2.18 billion and 11,000+ jobs supported by NIH awards in GA but couldn’t reach anyone wasn’t given an option to leave a voicemail CC Ossoff's Office Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock Brian Kemp

Many in biotech/private sector are boasting about their ways of funding and doing science But they are staffed with PhDs and postdocs we train in our NIH and U.S. National Science Foundation funded labs in universities With uni labs lacking funds to train, the private sector will be profoundly harmed

This is not acceptable. Scientists are being attacked because we are an easy target. Historically apolitical benefiting from bipartisan support. We can't just sit and wait to see what happens. Explain to the public what is happening within your circle of influence.

1. Help: NIH study sections and council meetings not already published in the Federal Register as of Jan. 21 have not been allowed to meet (thetransmitter.org/funding/federa…). This appears to be an 'end run' around a recent injunction and came from HHS officials. You can help (see below):

🔊 ATTN NIH U.S. National Science Foundation and VA funded scientists: love hearing about your papers here but please acknowledge UPFRONT that your beautiful science was enabled by federal funds Please do the same when you give talks or lectures, AND during your interviews with lay media and podcasters

I'm quoted in this article on how NIH is still blocked from funding new grants. This sabotage makes no sense. Nearly every medicine or treatment you've ever received has roots in NIH-funded research, and every $1 of NIH spending generates $2.46 in returns. wbur.org/news/2025/02/2…

An in depth expose of the attack on and illegal halting of NIH funding! For so long there’s been bipartisan support for science and medicine. This is not the way to enact reform..and it is devastating science in the US, especially medical schools theatlantic.com/health/archive…

So what's happening with medical research in the US? This is the cumulative award count from the NIH for the year. Doesn't look so good. But it gets worse. 1/

A huge missing piece in the public discourse about federal funding at universities is that these are not handouts but are instead used to address challenges that the government considers important for the country and scientific progress. There is a massive disconnect here. 1/5
