20 square blocks of damage from today’s tornado. It went through the center of St. Louis, Clayton, Forest Park, West End, Near northside. At least 3 fatalities.

It’s a mess. Kingshighway (main thoroughfare where BJC /WashingtonUniversity medical center is) is shut

I live south. No damage here.

As an anthropologist who started her career taught by an amazing set of #anthropology & #archaeology (as well as #humanities) faculty at #WashingtonUniversity - St. Louis, I am appalled as a #WashU #WUSTL alumnus that the school is associated with such embarrassing, poorly designed report. Shameful.

Bluetorial: Non-Competitive Renewal (Continuation) Awards

Normally, multiyear NIH grants are paid with awards each year, pending administratively reviewed progress reports. “NIH” has been slow in making these awards. This has led to $1.83 B being withheld from institutions through February 2025.
