"We need to organize--let’s help each other.

NIH is cancelling grants, but it's not clear exactly what they're cancelling and why. Without this information, we can't respond.

I've started a Google Sheet to track grant cancellations.

Please add any canceled grants you know of and spread the word!"

"ACTION ITEM:

I was chatting with a young scientist who expressed concern re the multiplicity of ongoing issues.

If anyone is interested in helping with this (ideally with expertise) please DM me." [on Bluesky]

Damn. The pattern of blocked grants suggests they just did a word search for versions of 'discrimination', 'sex', and 'integration'.

Don't know what's up with 'Interactions between motor learning and episodic memory' though.

@Phosphenes Probably don't want people to experience "learning" or "memory" any more
