I will never stop looking at this. A 404 foot GIDP. (This is correct, it is not a data error.)

Just one of the most insane plays you’re ever going to see in a baseball game. From almost a grand slam to an 8-6-2 double play. WOW.

Moronic own goal. Some of these policies are legitimately indistinguishable from the answer to the thought exercise: “If I was president and wanted to destroy America’s competitive advantage, this is what I would do”

Fixed it: --> last year, the U.S. sold more educational services to the rest of the world than it sold in natural gas and coal **combined** --> every $1 of research funded by NIH generates $2.56 in economic activity --> more than 1.1M foreign students come to the U.S. each year…

This framing is their framing, and NYT took the bait. The correct and accurate framing is: “Deep cuts to medical research threatens progress on cancer and heart disease research, costs the economy $80B, and threatens 300,000 jobs across red and blue states”

Here is how indirects work. A portion of a scientist’s NIH grant goes to the university—not as a slush fund, but mostly to support research. Some of it even comes back to the researcher. Why? Because grants cover specific expenses, and science often requires general funds. For…

I'm not sure non-academics really comprehend the magnitude of this. You're talking about hundreds of universities losing 10's to 100's of million in budget PER YEAR. Higher Ed's future already looked bleak. This cements it. Like it or not, the 100 yr model is likely dead.

Can you believe that universities with tens of billions in endowments were siphoning off 60% of research award money for “overhead”? What a ripoff!

It remains underreported how significant Dept of Ed resources got reallocated from FAFSA implementation to student loan foregiveness, with the result being a material decline in low-income college enrollment this year.
