Graph of award probability of R35 and R01 from NIH factbook as a function of review rank percentile. As is apparent, 2025 is a significant departure, with lower award probabilities at all scores <40 and significant departures from norm, where even being in the top 10% is no longer a nearly certain indicator of success.

The data is in: the NIH goalposts have shifted.

What were once almost certain fundable scores have become coin flips and what used to be likely grants have become aspirational, leading to fewer awards.

Another manifestation of how HHS policies have led to fewer awards and less science.

They're breaking things on purpose. So that they can point at them as ineffectual (after they broke them) and defund them.

I want to hear your safe for work alternatives! For instance, rather than call something a shit show, I called it a fecal spectacle. Please chime in with your own examples.

I'm pretty sure I've seen this movie, and it doesn't end well for humans.

I very loosely followed Kristen over from DAYS. So, I've been half-invested in Maxie's storyline since.

Amazing paper! Do you have any suggestions for agent instructions or prompt engineering that would encourage low sycophancy?

I can envision a VBA-based solution like this. But I concur that a native feature like this would rock.

Well then that's just misleading advertising / selling.

Request to NBC, can you use AI to embiggen the Olympic hockey pucks for viewers? I'd love to enjoy the gameplay, but my visual acuity gets in the way.

Are there style camps where one is preferred over the other? I'm used to %>%, but I'm willing to switch up.

I wonder when my tracking app will clock that on days I stay on track, I eat pickles. Yeah, because it's the only before bed food I can eat without calories!

Random journals... stop adding me to your review system expecting me to do work without an existing relationship. I'll decline every time. #EpiSky #AcademicSky
