This post is not a completely publication in the way I usually do, reducing some brainstorming during the weekend.
Universities are an essential column for civil society. Lawyers are not. Observers were waiting to find out what would come amicus-The Berkens Koy’s land campaign, the Seattle -based company, which was the first to target the Trump administration. Perkins Koy is, also, in a large way, the legal office of most of the Institutional Democratic Party. He – she Finally, the summary was signed By more than 500 companies throughout the country. But it has not been signed by any of the best 20 companies in the country, revenue is measured. I don’t know enough about the internal finances of the leading companies in the country. But I think they are often like Paul, Weiss, and this means that they are largely integration and purchase companies, at least in terms of where they earn their money – integration and purchase operations and managing the transactions of other companies that I do not know. It is essentially impossible to be in this work if you are in a state of war with the country that organizes integration and acquisitions.
After Paul, Weiss cut a deal with President Trump, spoke to a number of people either in the company or near. One of the things they helped to understand is that for such companies, with great integration and purchasing processes that focused on partners with business books that range well in tens of millions of dollars, they are not only customers who disappear in flashing. Partners can also raise money. So these vast and calm entities to earn money are actually very fragile in their own way. The equivalent of the bank runs dynamic and pooof, they went. But law firms come and law firms go. This is what it is.
I used to not expect many of the rare Barack Obama invasions in the public domain in recent years. But he is right in his last speech. Universities must be ready to dispense with federal financing in order to play their role in our society, as sadness in civil society. I do not deduct the strong challenge for that. It is easy to speak greatly to have to pay people’s salaries. I know that from personal experience. But the reality is simple. I do not say that universities must remove public funds for their tasks, especially public support for scientific research. But if universities are not ready to dispense with them, when it comes to payment, they were lost before they started.
This will not be a surprise to anyone. But it is worth saying though. The presidency of the Modern Great University has become a presidency to collect donations to a large extent and manage everything that is going on and comes out of the collection of donations. This is logical in a different era. But it is a group of skills different from the leadership of the civil society during the attempt to authorize the authoritarian acquisition. If the president of the university does not have or is not ready to use this group of skills, she may need a different university president.
From a number of quarters, I saw evidence that universities are preparing to play this role. It is clear that there is a second round of the White House’s efforts to bring universities to the heel. The first round was not going well, to place it moderately. But they were also not ready. Equally important, the White House struck them on the issues that themselves were divided from an institutional point of view-a reaction to the Gaza protests 2023/24, after 2016. The White House fully controlled tens of billions of dollars used by the United States government to finance basic research internally in institutions such as National Health Institutes and also in universities and research centers throughout the country. But research, especially biomedical research, can be more than just a vast unpaid vulnerability. In fact, it can be a bad weapon, not only for universities but to oppose the tyranny of the few Donald Trump in general.
I have spent a lot of time in the past few months speaking to people in the National Institutes of Health, people in the world of biomedical research as well as outside this world. The biggest ready -made meals, with new examples this week, are: most people outside this world, in fact, most people even in this world outside the national health institutes, do not understand what is happening to the world of diseases and photography research. The biggest obstacle in front of this is not just a speed of what happened and the absence of good information. People are facing great difficulty. We know that some people do not want to fund medicaid that goes to the poor. You may not think this way, but it may not surprise you that many people do it. It is very difficult to make people think anyone trying to end the research to find treatments for diseases that affect everyone. The richest people develop cancer, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson. Only yesterday I heard a distance from a power player in our society, saying: “This is meaningless. Who will follow cancer research?” However, it happens.
Since I held these numerous talks, what gathered in my mind is that the people in the front lines of this battle-researchers in basic sciences, MD-VHD, early professional research colleagues, peer reviewers, and major laboratory managers-are working through the power and funding lines made by Trump Musk’s reactions to control. That battle was already lost. They have controlled the arteries and the nerve system as they operate it in the opposite direction. It has been done.
Research scientists society also considers the structure of language and concept of grants, orientation courses, studies, and ecosystems to train new generations of research doctors. This language is foreign and is not related to the largest part of the population. I do not say that rejecting. I was brought up by the PhD life. I spent the twenties of my doctorate my doctorate, albeit not in science. I understand that. I get its importance. In most aspects are my mother tongue. But it has no equal or preposition in itself with the public in general and the road to the opposite of the course of destruction is to go to the public in general. This is completely about the final product, because the public has an immediate interest in: the unwillingness to die or that a member of his family dies from an advanced research that may be able to prevent or treat. Simple: the toilet cancer brand. The White House entered the war on cancer on the side of cancer. You can make a lot of straw around it and a lot of opposition.
There are disease societies around every major disease in this country – breast cancer, colon cancer, Alzheimer’s, etc. I do not mean professional societies. I mean, unofficial organizations and societies of people who are survivors, who were directly affected by these pain, who have genetic preparations, from doctors and care service providers. It is completely out of the experience and the comfort zone of people from the research community to speak directly to what we might call the end user and say your chance to treat or that your child’s treatment rises in fire and we are talking. And I get the reason that it is outside that experience. The search is not certainly, temporarily. You don’t want to excessive symbols. But these people and all of us – because we are all in some risk or multiple societies – are those who are subjected to direct harm. There is no one line of research for sure, but the research doctor as a whole is truly. There are networks and societies present in advance pending hearing this urgent message, which are, at the present time, do not hear it. This is because the destroyers move quickly on the financing and control paths that they understand and seized control. They have discovered good men, not ready, without a clear strategy or language to tell the audience what is happening.
Simply, until the elected officials start listening to the angry voters in the city’s halls who feel uncomfortable that their future and the future of their loved ones shine on the fire for no reason, then nothing is important. The first interface in this war has already been lost. The second front, where the forces of treatments, treatments and health have the advantage, barely left the ground. This is similar to Heraklius, who abandons the main battle in the Levant in the twenties of the last century, where he led its armies through the Armenian highlands and arrested the Persian armies, not ready and destroyed by the Persian lands in their homelands. Do not get analogy? Well, trust me: it’s really good. (Just do not go far to the 1960s.) This means mainly abandoning the struggle or loss and doing huge or joined maneuvers that your opponents do not prepare or expect and hit them in this way. The measurement works on two levels because if you have not read a lot of ancient history, it is likely that its meaning is lost without a clear explanation. This means You need to speak to people in a language they understandIt is the goal of the second half of this post.
What I describe here is also communicating with universities, as a lot of this research is taking place, which is home to many academic medical centers on which many societies depend on their health care.
