DARPA suddenly cancelled the project I was working on. I've had a lot of time to listen to my younger colleagues and reflect about some of the financial challenges they've encounters as a result. My thoughts here: jacobrprice.github.io/2025/0…
In my post I outline:
- the nature of these financial risks
- a proposal to help mitigate some of the risk
The proposal is low stakes, low effort, and would be free for administrators/advisors to implement.

🚨 Field Work 🚨
Rasul, Paula, Stephanie, & I departed @LifeAtPurdue headed to #EastPalestine #Ohio.
Community members in OH & PA reached out. Because of the current situation, we’re happy to help.
We’ll conduct home sampling & try to post updates below.

In case you missed it, @PHDcomics
posted a wonderful comic (more of an #Infographic) "The #COVID19 Virus Explained". It is an example of science communication done right.

Hi #Rstats: We're are looking to buy/build a #Linux machine for processing #amplicon #sequencing data via #dada2. Are there any hardware considerations that we should be taking into account specific to #Rprogramming or the #Linux environment? #DataScience

Congrats to Dr. Michael Braus on his publication of dissertation work on how we measure pH and its relationship to soil microbial communities in @SoilBiolBiochem! A lot of deep thinking and historical research went into this paper. Open access: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Elrod Owusu-Asumeng (@Ghanaian_Papi) gave a powerful speech at the @DrexelCAEE graduation, speaking on the commoditization of #Nature, our habit of treating our fellow man as *less than* for superficial differences, while instilling #Hope for the future.

It was my privilege to have been one small part of @Ghanaian_Papi's @DrexelUniv experience, and I wish him the best as he moves onto the next chapter!
