Please boost: If you are in STEM (esp Botany, Germplasm Conservation, Horticulture) and can help me put together a CV and "marketing strategy" that would be attractive in the EU, NZ, etc. please give me a holler. I'm not sure what I can afford, but if you do sliding scale or are open to barter, that would be lovely.
Ideally I'm looking for something that plays to my interdisciplinary strengths, ability to knit micro with macro, and increasing #accessibility in STEM.
US to cut billions in medical research funding
“Sick kids may not get the treatment they need. Clinical trials may be shut down abruptly with dangerous consequences. Just because Elon Musk doesn’t understand indirect costs doesn’t mean Americans should have to pay the price with their lives"

could this be the ugliest article on wikipedia?
whose idea was it to use all these different font colours with drop shadows? why do so many headings have these green backgrounds that stretch across the whole page? how are graphs still broken with no fallback (even a static image) since april 2023? what's with all the gaps in the page?

AAMC Statement on Drastic Cuts to NIH-Funded Research
"Every American has benefited from NIH-supported medical research conducted at medical schools, academic health systems, and teaching hospitals nationwide. Every American will be harmed by the undermining of this long-standing partnership between academic institutions and the federal government"

Oh no. NIH is reportedly capping the "overhead" paid on research grants to 15% of direct costs, which would represent a 60-80% reduction for most grant recipients. I'd expect NSF and other funding agencies may likely follow suit.
Why is this bad? Overhead on grants is what funds most of the infrastructure - office space, administrative staff, utilities, etc - at research universities. Without it, they simply can't operate.
National Institutes of Health radically cuts support to universities
Sudden and drastic change will make it hard for researchers to keep the lights on.John Timmer (Ars Technica)
If you work at an r1 in the US, it's likely that at least some of them will bankrupt in the next year. New guidance issued instantly capping indirects at 15%.
Those that don't go bankrupt are going to be purged of a substantial amount of staff and faculty.

UK demands access to Apple users' encrypted data
The UK government has demanded to be able to access encrypted data stored by Apple users worldwide in its cloud service. Currently only the Apple account holder can access data stored in this way - the tech giant itself cannot view it. The demand has been served by the Home Office under the Investigatory Powers Act (IPA), which compels firms to provide information to law enforcement agencies.

I didn't misrepresent anything in my recent Stop Killing Games article.
I reproduced the UK Gov statement, and then gave my own short comment, which boils down to: I don't think it's going to work to change the law, and think it's a good idea for people to look to other games and for stores to clearly note if a game requires an online connection.
Literally no misrepresentation there at all, I didn't even comment on the petition details itself. As usual, people like to make crap up.
I'm having a hard time understanding what is going on with the Kerrygold #Cooperative. It doesn't seem like a demutualization event, but people are getting big payouts? Kerry Group and the dairy co-op are splitting up and the big company is buying back its shares from the co-op, so that's where the cash is coming from? But non-dairy producing co-op members are also getting cashed out? Do you understand @ntnsndr
