You know measles is from poor diet, right ?!I’m looking forward to the RFAs for “preventing measles and understanding its consequences on human health” in the years ahead.

They gave up that one protester who's now had his green card revoked and essentially been disappeared. What more does the government want from them?
Do these schools not have lawyers or...? Wouldn't most of these funds already have been approved at least for the current calendar year?The dominos are starting to fall in regard to funding disruptions….UMass Biosciences just rescinded ALL grad offers for this grad year.
Are you so sure about that? Unless you're a millionaire or billionaire ? I'm not being sarcastic, just curious how you figure you'll benefit "greatly"?I mean, I'm one of those that will benefit greatly from a financial perspective.

Thanks for the insight. Honestly though will this offset potential losses in revenue and income for your services ? Given the proposed cuts on Medicare/medicaid as well as the possibility that a recession occurs and reduces spending on your services?The extension of the tax cuts are beneficial to my income bracket. I also wouldn't be surprised if there are some bones in there for some of my investment vehicles and s-corp tax structure.
Unless he sees a high % of medicare patients, I think he (& others including myself) shouldn't be too badly impacted by a downturn in the economy. As for the tax benefits, they could be a net positive, especially if there are S-Corp benefits. For my practice, I only see workers comp cases, but the majority of my revenue comes from expert work and some side legal and niche consulting work. Generalists will likely have different challenges, but at least for most neuropsychs, we don't take commercial insurance, and a portion to a large portion of our revenue comes from legal work, which will continue to exist and might even go up with a downturn in the economy. I run a small boutique practice where I prioritize flexibility and less hours, but I still hope to be in a position to take advantage of at least some of those tax breaks.Thanks for the insight.

The majority of my revenue is non-clinical. I am busier than ever, and even with a slight downturn, I'll likely be just fine. I have to turn work down constantly.
It's still weird to me that medicolegal work is considered "non-clinical" when your skills as a clinician are what is being called upon.
Yeah, definitely overlapping skillset. But, treated much differently from a legal and billing standpoint.
They love to demand that you cancel clinic to attend legal proceedings. Then they love to say you don't do enough clinical work.It's still weird to me that medicolegal work is considered "non-clinical" when your skills as a clinician are what is being called upon.
I attended a forensic-oriented talk in which one of the (psychologist) presenters said exactly this.It's still weird to me that medicolegal work is considered "non-clinical" when your skills as a clinician are what is being called upon.
So long as I get paid 600 an hour for every minute I’m away from the office, I’m willing to do that. Also, so glad I don’t work for them anymore. Always hated them and the things they say.They love to demand that you cancel clinic to attend legal proceedings. Then they love to say you don't do enough clinical work.
That’s awful! Do you know what topics/mechanisms?Several grants at our center just got terminated today😕 Unclear if the university will offer bridge funding or the staff/students will simply be let go (or have hours cut). I think there are at least 4-5 more potentially on the chopping block, its not remotely clear to me what order they are going on.
Topics impacted so far are - not surprisingly - in the LGBTQ+ health space. Span several different institutes (NCI, NIDA, NIMHD) and mechanisms (R01, R21, supplements, even internal grants that come via federal dollars). We have at least one other grant in that space I'm aware of that hasn't (yet) been terminated, but we assume it is just a matter of time. The other grants we think "could" be targeted are on topics like the health effects of racism, tailored interventions for specific minority populations, etc. Across the board, we're seeing fewer (but not zero?) termination of awards in those areas.
Surprise, surprise. COVID denialist guts NIAID. In other news, fork found in kitchen 😡 😡 😡*sigh*
