HHS and NIH need to take immediate action to prohibit use of HHS and NIH funds to pay bogus new "article processing fees" or "article development charges" assessed on NIH-supported papers.

Publishing means making an article public. This can be done for free online like BioRxiv or nihms. No need to pay journals a single dime
Replying to @Nature
If this news story is correct, science publishers Nature-Springer, Elsevier, and ACS will start, effective July 1, charging authors of NIH-supported papers additional new fees of "hundreds to thousands of dollars" above the extortionate publication fees they already charge.

I hope UC, which is one of Californias biggest employers, is likewise engaged in such discussions to keep our federal funding intact.
Losing federal funding at UC will be a disaster for the state, the country and for science.

Since #MicroED demonstrated the first successful structure determination from 3D crystals using electron diffraction there are now sufficient numbers of structures in PDB and CSD to warrant a survey and the establishment of GOLD STANDARDS for MicroED.
