More on why/how new NIH grants are still frozen. Great quote from SRO nature.com/articles/d41586-0… The scientific review officer said he could describe the impact of these layoffs on the agency’s ability to review grant applications and fund research in two words: “We’re f*cked.”

I was supposed to have an NIH study section (KEDD) today but it was "postponed TBD" yesterday. NIH can't make awards if it can't publicly announce its study section and Council meetings in the Federal Register. No meeting has been added since Jan 21 thetransmitter.org/funding/f…

Federal Register hold makes ‘end run’ around court pause on NIH funding freeze

NIH-related updates to the Federal Register, which are required for the scheduling of study sections and advisory councils, are on hold indefinitely, according to an email reviewed by The Transmitter.

One of the most well-reasoned takes on these cuts I have seen
Derek Thompson
@DKThomp8 Feb 2025
This is a huge deal. “Indirect costs”, as they’re called, from NIH still pay for direct science — eg, funding science labs, lab upkeep — but also university administration. Cutting this line item by billions of dollars is going to threaten university jobs but also potentially cut into science lab funding. There are absolutely controversies/concerns about wasteful indirect cost allocation. But it’s hard to imagine a cut this deep not affecting science labs directly. This is just not where I’d start cutting billions. Universities (including those that don’t have $10b endowments) are gonna scream, and I’d guess we’re gonna hear about extremely worthy programs relying on labs being endangered.

On Jan. 28, the White House announced a temporary pause on federal grants and loans as part of a government-wide review of federal programs. @NIH and @NSF have temporarily halted grant review meetings, including study sections and merit review panels. 1/6

High blood pressure while lying down could signal higher risks of heart disease and death, even with normal seated readings. Read more about important recent findings here: tctmd.com/news/high-bp-while… #HeartHealth #Cardiology

High BP While Lying Down Signals Future CVD Risk

It’s not yet time to abandon seated BP measurements, but taking a look at supine readings may provide enhanced risk assessments.

“I want to be in an environment where I have the resources to win a national championship,” Brian Kelly said in April 2022 after leaving Notre Dame for LSU. Notre Dame will play for a national championship in 11 days. LSU has not made the CFP since Kelly took over.

This is a half physiological truth turned into a wellness fact that does little more than to bolster sales of salty sugary 'hydration' products (which many have an affiliate code for 🥴) & results in people ingesting an extra 500-1000mg of sodium on top of an already salty diet.

Drinking 8 glasses of water daily is based on zero science. Real hydration requires sodium + glucose in a 2:1 ratio—this activates transport proteins that pull water into cells. Without both salt and sugar, you're just flushing your system.

PSA from an associate editor: You definitely want to list more than 3 suggested reviewers! Not uncommon for me to have to ask ~10 or more people to secure 3 solid reviewers.
