War on Drugs Reboot 2.0! While everyone has their attention elsewhere you quickly pass legislation that will keep prisons full for the next 20 years. House passes Congressman Morgan Griffith’s HALT Fentanyl Act | WJHL | Tri-Cities News & Weather

This one has got to be retracted soon as well. These schools have the best lawyers and top law schools for reason. Right?
Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.

A wonderful time delivering the plenary at NASPA Strategies Conference in Boston this week. Such a great conference and having it in my own backyard is always a plus. #rolloutofbedandgo

Everyone say hello to the newly minted Dr. Christina Freibott. She is the first of what I hope is many PhD students that I have. I could not be more happy for her and loved that she focused on such a timely and important topic.

It is sad to me that prosecutors often do not give a damn about people addicted to drugs until they become a tool to perpetuate mass incarceration. Mother asks for leniency for Tigard man who sold her son deadly dose of fentanyl: ‘We do not seek revenge’
