The administration’s research funding and DEI cuts present an existential threat to regional public universities like Southern Illinois University, the economic backbone of the conservative rural region it serves.

U Netherlands has also warned researchers about the questionnaire. The USGS questionnaire asks, for example, whether the researcher’s organisation works with ‘entities associated with communist, socialist, or totalitarian parties’, whether the research project has taken ‘appropriate measures’ to ‘defend against gender ideology’ and whether the project has ‘measurable benefits for US domestic industries, workforce, or economic sectors’."

Every (almost) year, I do an adopt-a-family for Christmas. It's not perfect, but it's what I can do. This year, I have 21 families in need of help (adding a few more to this post today). All of them have been affected by long COVID. They have anonymous Amazon wish lists set up. Anyone from anywhere can help make their Christmas brighter!

Every year at Christmas, I do an adopt-a-family project. I have five families this year, all of whom have been affected by #LongCOVID. Two of them are #homeless. They each have an Amazon wish list of needs and wants (I know -- Amazon...).

Hoping the holidays smile on all of us, and best wishes for a fulfilling New Year.

Would you like to help families in need this Christmas? I've got five families who need help this year. They each have an anonymous Amazon wish list (I know, Amazon...). Anyone in the US can shop off of their lists of wants and needs to make their holidays a little brighter.

All five families have been affected by #LongCOVID, and two are #homeless. And if you can't personally help, every share is appreciated. Thank you!

1/2 Hello, everyone! I hope you are all having a beautiful holiday season. I know it's difficult for many of you. Seven years ago, I watched several friends going through hard times, but I didn't have a way to help them myself. I figured out a way, though, by setting up The Village Christmas Project

I set each family up with an anonymous Amazon wish list that anyone from anywhere can shop off of. I look forward to this every year.

I derive so much joy from doing my annual #AdoptAFamily, The Village Christmas Project. This year, I have five families, all impacted by #LongCOVID, and two of them are experiencing #homelessness. Each of them has an anonymous Amazon wish list.

It's so hard limiting this to just give families. My hope is to go back to including more in the future. For now, even if you don't have the means to help, sharing is greatly appreciated.

See a glitch? Let me know.

Thanks!

Every year for the holidays, I do an adopt-a-family program called The Village Christmas Project. This year, there are five families in need of assistance, all impacted by #LongCOVID, two #homeless. We do this through anonymous Amazon wish lists. It's a difficult financial time for many, so even sharing is appreciated.

If you find any quirks, please let me know.

Thanks so much!

Every year for the holidays, I do an adopt-a-family program called The Village Christmas Project. This year, there are five families in need of assistance. Some are still updating their lists, but we do this through anonymous Amazon wish lists. It's a difficult financial time for many, so even sharing is appreciated.

Lists and addresses have been updated. If you find any quirks, please let me know.

Thanks so much!
