"More Political Appointees at #NIH?"
medpagetoday.com/special-repor

"The #Trump administration is seeking to reclassify more civil servants as political appointees, alarming NIH staff…Notably, an Office of Personnel Management [#OPM] proposal could make the agency's institute and center directors political appointees, as well as other staff that are involved with evaluating and awarding research grants…Since the proposed rule was posted to the federal register on April 23, it has garnered 20,000 comments; 900 or so specifically call out the importance of scientific independence at NIH."

Also see the OPM proposal.

so i feel like every #musician and music lover on the #fedi at least knows @etherdiver , right?
somehow, in between spotlighting so many other artists every single week with his Other People's Music #opm posts, we manages to make his own tunes and he manages to keep getting better at his craft.
tonight he released what is likely his best album yet. you can still hear his compositional style, particularly in the way he phrases melodies, but its better. hes grown sharper, he's honed his craft.
put it on this week's #bandcampfriday list!
