Tatjana SchefflerSNF (Switzerland) restrictions proposed: only 1 concurrent research grant per PI (plus maybe one coop), only 1 proposal per year.
🔥 Hot take (since I'm not at all operating like this currently): I actually think this might be a good idea? It would curb some of the biggest "research mills", where one PI has a huge pyramid scheme underneath them, and might encourage more careful grant proposals, slower science. And might even put more emphasis back into the basic research funding (instead of the grant lotteries)?
(Maybe naive, I know, and I have no idea how this would be implemented)

TypographicaIf you’re at all interested in type history, the Stephen O. Saxe fellowship at RIT is a great opportunity to dig into one of the deepest troves of specimens and foundry documents. I’d love to see more of his collection surfaced through research. https://www.rit.edu/carycollection/summer-research-fellowships

Eric Darnley SmallAt UCLA, faculty groups are rallying against Trump’s push for a $1.2B settlement, after suing to disclose the proposal seen as targeting diversity and transgender inclusion. The administration’s threat follows accusations from the Justice Department over alleged inaction on antisemitism and civil rights during protests—charges Newsom calls “extortion.” While the dispute has temporarily blocked over $500M in research grants, courts have ordered most funds restored. UCLA warns paying the settlement could devastate the university system; the fight now involves state leaders urging Gov. Newsom to oppose White House demands.
