The FR says the recipient is University of Southern Denmark, but there are no results in USASpending.gov for that recipient (even when there are no other filters selected).

OK, here is the announcement of the grant in the Federal Register
https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/12/18/2025-23245/notice-of-award-of-a-single-source-unsolicited-grant-to-fund-university-of-southern-denmark-sdu

And the protocol was leaked to Inside Medicine, apparently near/on Jan 15. People wouldn't care about reading a leaked protocol if a trial registration with protocol were available publicly.

actually maybe not, I am reading the letter the researchers wrote to The Guardian after a news story about it. The letter is not dated but it must have been after December 19, when the news story ran.
It says "none of the commentators [who criticized the study in the Guardian article] had read the protocol, which has yet to be registered"

Surely there must be a clinical trial registration and a record of the grant?

I looked through the ICTRP registrations associated with the sponsor -- nothing recent about hep B.

I have looked in USASpending as many ways as I can think of for the record about the CDC grant supporting the Guinea-Bissau vaccine trial.
I searched the name of the sponsoring organization, Bandim.
I searched the location of Guineau-Bissau (and for that matter Denmark).
I looked through all CDC FY2026 grants and contracts between 1.5 million and 1.7 million, because NPR said the grant was 1.6.
I searched for the name of the PI in USASpending and in ClinicalTrials.gov. Some records came up in the latter, but not the hep B trial.

Ah yes, let's drain the swamp and bring efficiency to government by, let me check my notes, "flooding the zone" with AI-generated regulations.

@triplingual re VPN - maybe not location per se but my IP address at least....

And, of course, I'm already giving them (the employer, I mean, not this particular app) lots of location info with keycard swipes, using campus wifi, and using the VPN....

Their privacy policy: https://www.vectorsolutions.com/application-privacy-policy/

On the other hand, I can see why the app wants you to enable location services; in an emergency, of course they would want to be able to target messages in a quite granular way by location (current location, I mean, not just "works in building X")

Hi folks, seeking advice about balancing #privacy and physical security

I'm thinking of installing the "Livesafe" app that my employer (a university) uses to manage emergencies. But I'm hesitating because I'm not sure I want to share my location data with my employer.

Of course, in that setting, there are several "helper instructors" who can go and troubleshoot while the main instructor continues the presentation... Not sure the post-its by themselves will solve things ‍️

@futurebird
In Carpentries instructor training, they teach you to handle this by giving everyone two colors of sticky notes. You have the students put the green note sticking up like a flag on their laptop when things are going well, and the red note when they are dealing with a problem and need help.
Works very well in the context of Carpentries workshops!
