l the only other person posting about the bhattacharya event as it happened was jenna norton she did not thread her posts so i am going to do some very fast copy and paste of some of her comments okay here we go jay bhattacharya and emily oster have started their nasem fireside chat bhattacharya noted that seeing emily oster is the facilitator cemented his decision to participate he has a pattern of only speaking with people who have been publicly sympathetic to his views https bsky app profile jenna m norton bsky social post 3mkb7puipys2u bhattacharya is discussing the problem of replication in research a major source of failure to replicate is lack of diversity in the original study population thus his anti dei efforts which end up excluding already underrepresented people from research are undermining his stated goal https bsky app profile jenna m norton bsky social post 3mkb7xxwhbk2u emily oster asked bhattacharya what metrics is he going to use to measure improvement in replication he s been talking for several minutes and i ve not heard an answer to this question https bsky app profile jenna m norton bsky social post 3mkbaakfxk32u in the nasem fireside chat with jay bhattacharya he says there is no political review of grants nih staff being required to censor grants base on a computational text analysis tool beg to differ https www science org pb assets pdf news 20pdfs final_staff_guidance 1765918233 pdf https bsky app profile jenna m norton bsky social post 3mkbb2tcskd2u in the nasem fireside chat with bhattacharya he says the impact score correlates strongly with methods and not innovation he neglects entirely the existence of summary statements as a source of information to program staff and ic directors who used to be able to inform final funding decisions https bsky app profile jenna m norton bsky social post 3mkbbjf35yt2u in the nasem chat with bhattacharya he talks about how supporting innovation will support early career scientists meanwhile under his leadership early career scientists have disproportionately suffered early career scientists were disproportionately affected by terminations https bsky app profile jenna m norton bsky social post 3mkbbp7voit2u in the nasem chat with bhattacharya he suggests that requiring vaccines is coercive and undermines trust he ignores the role concerted vaccine disinformation campaigns have had on trust and the part he played in them https bsky app profile jenna m norton bsky social post 3mkbbvd3avo2u in the nasem fireside chat with bhattacharya i will give emily oster credit on pushing jay on refusing to publish the cdc study showing covid vaccine reduce hospitalization especially when cdc just published something with the same methods on flu https bsky app profile jenna m norton bsky social post 3mkbc3p6gx62u he lied more than once about the political influence happening inside nih where ideas are very clearly being constrained by his own admission to agency priorities that have been determined not by scientific or patient communities but by the white house russ vought s project 2025 plan https bsky app profile jenna m norton bsky social post 3mkbcstwsyc2a in the nasem chat with jay bhattacharya he falsely accusing the biden admin of censoring social media companies in the lawsuit he helped bring he failed to prove that claim yet he continues to repeat it https www bbc com news articles c100l6jrjvno https bsky app profile jenna m norton bsky social post 3mkbbxxxjsg2u former nigms director jeremy berg has said he will have a reaction later i will update this post when he does update 25 april 2026 jeremy berg has as promised delivered a thread on bhattacharya s chat as with jenna norton s posts i will show a few excerpts 1 replication actions b nih starting a journal or something similar for posting replication studies details unclear most important to me he seems to see this as a major force in changing academic culture unless it leads to increased funding chances i don t see this 2 unified strategy for funding he made statements that nih staff just focus on funding papers that are likely to lead to high impact publications and that institutes do not worry about their overall missions just one grant at a time this is ignorant nonsense 4 the cdc report on covid vaccine efficacy he said that there were clear methodological flaws and the moderator also an economist agreed if that is the case then he should have issued a clear statement to that effort with timeline for generating a more methodologically sound paper he cannot be so foolish as to not understand that his blocking a scheduled report related to covid is going to be perceived as political given his history of weighing in on the political and policy issues around covid rather than purely scientific ones i was not surprised by his performance it was largely was could have been anticipated i was pleasantly surprised that the moderator did push back on some issues but overall i don t think this provide much useful information to the important topics under discussion by including him at this forum in this format the national academies of science provided him a platform without substantial constraints or opportunities for others to fact check him or present other perspectives i among others would have been glad to do this i think the national academies are damaging their reputation in an attempt to curry favor from political figures or to appease funders i am disappointed and hope and will try to insist that they will take different approaches in the future update 26 april 2026 dorothy bishop has a blog post about bhattacharya s performance as a friendly outsider i e not in the united states excerpts i think that nasem was right to include the bhattacharya oster chat in the meeting for two reasons first i ve attended endless sessions on research integrity with great speakers but most of us feel powerless to actually do anything other than call for action from funders and governments even if you don t like what your government is doing it can be helpful to know what solutions they will consider i m sure the organizers will be criticized for the fact that only one audience question was asked in this session but i doubt that i could have done any better than oster bhattacharya revealed himself as someone who gets very uncomfortable when confronted with inconsistencies in his behaviour or views bishop also provides a rough transcript of the event scroll down to the end of her post related posts the national academies get ratio d on research integrity workshops posted by zen faulkes at 7 20 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels science and politics 14 april 2026 record number of nsf grfp awards in 2026 awarded to the usual suspects several outlets have run articles with the unexpected good news that the national science foundation is giving out more grfp awards than ever after a deep reduction in 2025 hooray but those awards and i have written about several times before are highly concentrated in a small number of institutions mit with about 4 5 thousand undergrads gets 88 awards versus the entire university of texas system of about 200k undergrads getting 63 awards harvard university with about 7k undergrads gets 51 awards versus the entire university of california system of about 200k undergrads getting 300 awards again the nsf does not disclose a lot of data about who applied to the awards so it could be that texas students aren t submitting proposals at the same rate but i recently ran across an analysis of who gets fellowships in by dominque baker which points out that in the awards examined there they cluster in people working at universities deemed prestigious she wrote longstanding methods of fellowship selection tend to coincidentally find talent in the same places year after year i suspect but can t prove this describes the grfp process oh look it s just coincidence that a small number of east coast universities suck up most of the awards every year external links nsf awards record number of coveted phd fellowships in surprise move nsf names record number of graduate fellows rebounding from 2025 dip who gets guggenheims posted by zen faulkes at 1 05 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels awards nsf 13 april 2026 the national academies get ratio d on research integrity workshops the national academies of science engineering and mathematics is showing again that they are not up to the moment researcher katy milkman has organized a zoom workshop for the national academies on research integrity featuring some speakers who have been accused of having little integrity themselves i examined the full schedule and i have to say the program is a strange mix some people have great records on speaking about integrity elizabeth bik the master of image duplication detection yes ivan oransky who runs the retraction watch blog yes michael dougherty whose helped to reform career incentives at his department to align with dora principles yes others do not the poster pictured mentions jay bhattacharya and emily oster both of whom gained prominence for saying institutions overreacted to the covid pandemic the poster doesn t mention the format it is a 45 minute fireside chat with oster interviewing bhattacharya probably due to this poster featuring these two covid contrarians so prominently the first post was ratio d quite severely with over 100 comments 10 reposts and about 20 likes as of this writing in response to criticism milkman wrote to everyone responding with vitriol please come our goal in choosing speakers was to platform both popular and unpopular figures advocating for scientific reforms to spark productive conversations across divides if this makes you angry come engage in dialogue that s how we improve um if you re all about engaging in dialogue that s how we improve you may not want to call the comments vitriol the ratio suggests milkman s stepped in it even worse the second time 444 comments 158 reposts and 24 likes as of this writing a co organizer jeremy freese wrote original emphasis to me the viewpoint of the director of nih on the main issues of the workshop has obvious and considerable relevance for contemporary science policy to me it would have been both an abuse of the role and nutty hubris for a co organizer to try to assert that the director of nih would be an improper participant in this event or that there should be a bluesky veto over speakers two things maybe three this is supposed to be a workshop on social and behavioural sciences bhattachayra leads the nih which mainly does medical research not social and behavioural research yes i get that the nih has a wide remit and supports some social and behavioural research but it is not the major function of the agency why invite someone whose work is agency oversight which is largely removed from research integrity why not invite someone whose whole job is research integrity the nih has an entire office of research integrity it s listed right there on the label saying that people posting criticisms are asking for a bluesky veto is a convenient way to dismiss what your colleagues are telling you i haven t read everything that freese read but i haven t seen any posts yet saying the event should be cancelled because bluesky users say so what i have seen are people saying this event is extraordinarily unlikely to get the productive dialogue that the organizers say they want it is more likely that this event will platform people who are actively undermining research it is weird that organizers who keep touting the let s air out our differences and find a way forward keep dismissing people and only minimally engaging in dialogue old joke when one person calls you a jackass that person is obviously an ignorant fool when ten people call you a jackass maybe you should think about getting fitted for a saddle cole donovan reposted with the comment again as a former national academies program director familiar with the rules for these as well as how things should go the issue isn t whether the nih director is an appropriate invitee or not to an event the issue is whether the event s design is one where disagreements result in dialogue i get that organizers put a lot of effort into creating what they thought would be a good event on a worthwhile topic it s hard to admit mistakes it s hard to course correct mere days before the event i understand that they don t want to undercut their own work just a couple of weeks before the workshop but the whole thing positively smells like what we have gotten from the national academies over and over again absolute refusal to acknowledge that american science is in crisis and that crisis is being caused by the federal government and that people like jay bhattacharya are simply not leading american science out of the crisis sometimes it feels like the national academies would rather risk a hundred doctoral programs be cut today rather than risk one congressional representative saying something bad about them five years from now related posts ignoring catastrophe the state of science in 2025 according to the national academies of sciences
