Federal funding for US biomedical research is moribund. Since October 1 2025, NIH is -80% in new grants and -70% in values (total dollars). Labs are closing down and researchers are leaving science. To what end?
The "publish or perish" culture must perish. Scientists need time to think. We just published our Slow Science Manifesto, where we argue that huge changes are needed in the way we fund, publish, and evaluate science. Read more and sign here: slow-science.com
Both chambers of Congress have now passed the FY26 minibus with NIH provisions. The President will sign. (1) $48.7 billion for NIH (2) Full IDC recovery (3) No more multi-year funding (4) No NIH reorganization, maintaining the current IC structure.
In an unprecedented move, the US National Institutes of Health has begun mass terminations of research grants that fund active scientific projects because they no longer meet “agency priorities”. go.nature.com/4i2EaIb
Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to put pressure on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research
US universities ranked by number of "best scientists" (h index>155). Some under- and some overrated unis? Harvard 69 MIT 21 Johns Hopkins 20 Stanford 20 UCSD 19 Caltech 13 Berkeley 11 Columbia 10 Yale 10 Cornell 8 Penn 8 Princeton 5 U. Michigan 5 U. Wisconsin 5 U. Illinois 2

And the list continues: Ahmed El Kaffas, Tatiana Khokhlova, Mengxing Tang, Klazina Kooiman, Brian Fowlkes, Fabian Kiessling, Florideza Villanueva, Siddhartha Sikda. I may still miss some names.
A riddle for scientists: what is (1) better than publishing in Nature, (2) more evil than reviewer 2, (3) the postdocs have it, (4) the Nobel prize winners need it, and (5) if you publish it you perish?
So much 4 Feynman's "a kind of scientific integrity, a principle of scientific thought that corresponds to a kind of utter honesty" (see: thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/scientific-int…) We keep witnessing new lows of scientific misconduct in publishing 👇 Would you like the "50 citations package"?
