@LukensJohnR No one should be debuting new music at the SB halftime. This is the place for all time favorites that everyone knows and loves, not rap battle diss tracks and songs no one knows. Maybe he can do better in 2 years when they have him on for the 3rd time.

@Chris_Barbieri1 They were impressive. But the game lacked any drama. Reminded me of KC vs. Tampa Bay w Brady.

@LukensJohnR It may have been. For Kendrick Lamar fans. Very narrow appeal. Plus he performed at the SB in 2022. 75% of people watching can't recognize a single one of his songs. And I expect more pageantry. I also hate all SB halftime. Most overrated thing in the world.

@LukensJohnR No. Definitely not. Though I can at least recognize a song or two.

@Cunningham_Colm I think a lot. It's not all admin. We have excellent facilities that I could never pay for with my grants alone. Microscopy, flow cytometry, sequencing, omics cores that are critical to our efforts, funded by indirects. We pay fees out of directs, but they don't cover all costs.

@GaultierAlban This may be what happens. It could be much more efficient, as you would have control of your admin person (or a person you share w another lab). But direct costs would need to increase.

@lvolpic Whenever I explain indirects to non-scientist friends, they are dumbfounded. It's an obvious place to cut, but I don't know if med schools can survive on 15%. 30 or 40%, maybe. 15% will have massive inpact on research. Perhaps it's a starting point for renegotiation. Perhaps not.

@lvolpic Now you will be paying the janitor out of your directs! Though I bet you can do it for far less than 58% of your total award. Perhaps they will roll the $4b "savings" into more/larger direct awards (not holding my breath).

@marcora @nytimes Fair enough. There are lots of other critical things going on in AD. But the idea that amyloid plays an important role is hard to deny. Mountains of data supporting it. We risk throwing the baby out with the bathwater by exaggerating the influence of a few bad actors.

@eviljunglelord @TheChiefNerd It's not true. There have been thousands of studies supporting aspects of the amyloid hypothesis, and a couple of them ended up being fraudulent, which had little to no influence on the field. We now use anti-amyloid drugs for Alzheimer's and they work, to some degree.
