No NIH Money for British Boycotters

It's heartening to read that the UCU Boycott of Israel is not going to be without negative consequences for those promoting it:

Prof Dershowitz said he had started work on legal moves to fight any boycott.

He told the Times Higher Educational Supplement that these would include using a US law - banning discrimination on the basis of nationality - against UK universities with research ties to US colleges. US academics might also be urged to accept honorary posts at Israeli colleges in order to become boycott targets.

The NIH alone spends around $30 million giving research grants to investigators in the UK. Clearly these researchers should declare their non-participation in the boycott.
