NIH is not issuing awards. You may think that it's because they it is coming up with new directions of research...The apposite is true.
Here is a graph showing how many fewer new funding opportunities that NIH has posted over time.
-91%, a trend that started on Jan 2025.

Saying "hi" is one of the easiest ways to make people feel included.
Maybe it's just me, but silence/being ignored makes me (as a newcomer) feel like I don't belong in the room or at the table. Watching others get greeted warmly reinforces this. Say hello today 🗣️👋 🩷
