Changes to NIH Peer Review

NIH has agreed to some suggestions from advisory panels about how to change the grant peer review process:

Maybe NIH Thinks Small Laboratories Aren't Translating Enough Research?

DrugMonkey asks "Is the NIH trying to get rid of smaller laboratories?" Before I get to my take on the answer, what I'll be talking about is based on private conversations, so I won't be attributing some

Program Announcement: I'm Moving
September 1, 2011
I've dropped some hints in the past that my relationship with ScienceBlogs would be...altered. Well, I've decided to leave. Mostly, it had to do with the issue of pseudonymity, although I'm very excited to hang out my own shingle once again. I don't want to rehash the issue of pseudonymity,…
Note to Unions: This Is Not How You Build a Coalition
September 1, 2011
The old saw that 'we hang together or we get hung separately' is a perfect description of how the left has disintegrated into irrelevance. Too often, groups will focus on modest gains for their own narrow constituency, while selling out other allies. Over the long term, each component of the…

Meet the New New Math, Same As the Old New Math? What We Can Learn from Finland
August 31, 2011
Recently, The New York Times published an op-ed calling for curricular changes in K-12 math education: Today, American high schools offer a sequence of algebra, geometry, more algebra, pre-calculus and calculus (or a "reform" version in which these topics are interwoven). This has been codified by…

Comments of the Week #78: From Newton's Failures to Logic and Science
“Making a wrong decision is understandable. Refusing to search continually for learning is not.” -Phil Crosby It was a busy week, from science to politics to the simple question of Earth's color here at Starts With A Bang. As always, you didn't disappoint, with plenty to say about it all, and I'm stoked to continue the conversation. Just in case you missed anything: How, exactly,…
2014 may be the warmest year on record
In early December I wrote a post called "2014 will not be the warmest year on record, but global warming is still real." The very first thing I said in that post is that I was going out on a limb. I also discussed whether or not one year mattered, and I discussed the nature of the phrase "X is the Yth warmest year on record," going into details on what "the record" is and how we measure this. I…
Chimpanzees and congestive heart failure
As a follow up to the blog on heart disease in chimpanzees, a reader asked if chimpanzees ever develop congestive heart failure. The answer is yes, this is a common cause of death in these animals. However, the pathology differs from humans. For humans, heart disease usually results from coronary artery atherosclerosis, which blocks the blood supply to the heart muscle resulting in reduced…
