@cmonjussthetip @tallcat78 @dietbrisk @whstancil You don't know how this works. Try reading up on state appropriations work for universities for large purchases like equipment, and then come back and talk to us. Investigators cannot purchase $1M mass specs off of their grants. These come out of indirect costs.

@cmonjussthetip @whstancil Universities have their budgets set over 5-10 year cycles. Business plan out 3-5 years ahead on expected income. Let's cut 75% of your income to support your infrastructure from your business immediately and without warning. How will you do? That's what Musk has done to NIH.

@eyelashe1 @fchollet So about 25% then. Your writing is neither clear nor efficacious. Why don't you just say what you mean?

@JMannisi @GaryMarcus Trump's Rule 174 has imposed huge tax liabilities on R&D activities. As a resut, Companies are not hiring newly minted PhDs at the same rate. Trump is hostile to science and has created an extraordinarily unfavorable environment in both the public and private sectors.

@eyelashe1 @fchollet Dude, this is X. We don't need someone else copying and pasting a long winded explanation from ChatGPT. Strive to be concise and clear. Your analysis of the situation is completely wrong. Serious, not the way things work. Have you ever set foot on a university?

@weaponizedword1 @DrNeilStone I don't understand what your deal is with the word "expert"; it's not yiur place to correct others, dumbass. Who are you? I do know Mike Stone is a expert in fungal infections, because he is already recognized by his peers in the field through multiple highly cited publications

@JMannisi @GaryMarcus Do you have no idea how budget planning works at a University? Let's try cutting your infrastructure facility and staffing maintenance by 75% Monday morning and see how your practice adapts. Tell the staff who lose their salaries to "adapt." That's whats happening here.

@OncoAdvLukas @NIH No it doesn't. This is an idiotic move by an anti-science administration. It's a budget cut, not a rebalance.

@endlibtyranny @NIH Wrong. Universities plan their budgets out years in advance. IDC supports utilities, buildings equipment and staff. Why don’t we just slash your businesses income 75% overnight and see if you stay employed? And do you think doing this without any notice is helpful & beneficial?

@KenCCheng @NIH As scientists, we were worried about a 20% budget reduction in 2016; this seems far worse. A 72% instant reduction in IDC is not NIH's choice. And given that IDC is used for infrastructure and staff, this will have profoundly negative long term impacts on all academic research.

@adaptov @laurenncarterr @BagleyConan @DrNeilStone You got the facts completely wrong. - Both inhalation and parenteral anesthetics compromise respiratory function - because of their Pharmacokinetics IV anesthetics offer LESS control than inhalation anesthia, not more. Asking ChatGPT is not doing research.

@adaptov @laurenncarterr @BagleyConan @DrNeilStone The rank order answer chatgpt provides is flat wrong, so you'll have to do some additional "research." To understand why you will need to understand the mechanisms of action and use of these drugs in this type of surgery.

@adaptov @laurenncarterr @BagleyConan @DrNeilStone Ok, @adaptov, tell me: Rank order, by class, the drugs that produce the worst outcomes in complex kyphoscoliosis during corrective surgical procedures?

@BagleyConan @DrNeilStone All bow down before Conan, because he obviously the big smartie in this room. Conan don't trust them ivory tower eggheads with their "science" and "medicine." Work in these fields don' matter, cause Conan knows he's the smart one here, and we all stupid.

@Tim_The_Sandman @ChrisVanHollen Arguments like this are nonsense. Every agency in existence, every business, does things that someone doesn't like. And no company is perfectly efficient. The benefits of NOAA are huge.
