~Entire Fulbright board quits, blaming Trump admin interference~

~”The #Trump admin unlawfully ‘usurped the (board’s) authority’ by denying awards (because of research topics the admin didn’t like) to a ‘substantial number’ who had already been selected for the 2025-2026 academic year through a yearlong, merit-based process.”

The State Dept. could also reject 1,200 #Fulbright more recipients through an "unauthorized review process.”

"National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya faced questions from senators during an Appropriations subcommittee hearing Tuesday, as the federal government agency has taken hits to its staffing levels and grant-making ability since under President Trump.

Senators focused on the Trump administration’s requested 2026 budget, which calls for cutting NIH’s funding by $18 billion from 2025 levels."

The board approved those scholars over the winter after a yearlong selection process, & the #State Dept was supposed to send acceptance letters by April, the people said. 🚨🚨🚨 But instead, the board learned that the office of public *diplomacy* at the agency had begun sending REJECTION letters to the #scholars based mainly on their #research topics, they said.

"US President Donald Trump has intensified the MAGA assault on science by seeking to impose ‘Stalinist’ oversight on government-funded research. A new executive order (EO) empowers political appointees to validate research outcomes, overriding independent expert review."

"Everything points to an effort to effectively destroy U.S. science — not gradually as part of a long-term plan, but over the next year or two. ...

Science has this awkward tendency to tell you things you didn’t want to know and give you answers you didn’t want. The Trump administration may pretend to want better science, but at a fundamental level MAGA dislikes and distrusts the very idea of science."

Stony coral tissue loss disease is a novel coral disease that first emerged in Florida in 2014, and has now spread to 33 countries and territories in the Caribbean, including along the Mesoamerican Reef.

Researchers trying to understand how the coral microbiome is involved in or responds to SCTLD infection, and developing probiotics that they hope will offer an alternative treatment.

Funny how the conclusions drawn from these reports never include "Oh, the problem is capitalism."

"Roughly 40 percent of respondents cited economic barriers – such as the costs of raising children, job insecurity and expensive housing – as the main reason for having fewer children"

“Governments may need to tax working people more or take on more debt...” [professor of social statistics and demography] Wisniowski noted."
