Update. "Scientists sue #NIH, saying politics cut their research funding"
apnews.com/article/nih-funding

"A group of scientists and health groups sued the NIH on Wednesday, arguing that an “ideological purge” of research funding is illegal and threatens medical cures…The suit was filed by the American Public Health Association [#APHA], unions representing scientists and some researchers who were stripped of grants."

A similar suit has been filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (#ACLU), the Center for Science in the Public Interest (#CSPI), and the Protect Democracy Project (#PDP).

Hi all, we did our annual PDP-12 demo in Dr. Ted Pedersen's architecture class on Tuesday, and it went really well.

In cleaning up / reorganizing after showing off our artifacts, I realized that we have something that I haven't seen on @bitsavers, but I maybe just didn't know where to look. It's a big poster of PDP-12 instructions -- it's kind of like the pocket reference in poster format. It is about 9.5x30 inches (24x76 cm). I scanned it in two pieces on the office machine and stitched it together with GIMP. I'll try to make a PDF version with OCR text. @bitsavers #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #pdp12 #pdp #dec #umdpdp12

I have a like the ones used in the . One of the plastic tube mounting posts is broken and it did not turn on but might just be a fuse. Been sitting in the attic for a long time. I salvaged it from the university of lab when they shut it down 35 years ago. It was used to a -11 by typing in several lines of assembly to bring up the main . I'll see if I can get it working again or may be repurpose/retrofit it as a modern computer monitor. They offered me the PDP-11 at the time also but it was too big for me to retain.
