"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants. Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

For the first time in nearly 30 years, the EPA under Trump failed to release the U.S.’s annual greenhouse gas emissions report. So a nonprofit did it instead. Facts don’t disappear just because the government refuses to print them. Read their findings below ⬇️ www.cbsnews.com/news/greenho...

As the Trump administration fires government researchers, cancels scientific grants, and targets universities with funding freezes, scientists who might once have welcomed public attention for their work or spoken up on issues affecting their field are instead opting for silence. scim.ag/4jLxA9E

🧪 What the f is going on with NSF right now??? 🚨🚨🚨 There's been so many NSF updates within the past 48 hours that it's hard to keep track. It feels like an onslaught. It is an onslaught. But it's still vital to remain focused, organized, and strategic. So here's my recap of past 48 hours...

NEW: Starting May 5, NSF will implement an across-the-board 15% indirect cost rate (mirroring policies at DOE, NIH) Also, NSF staff expect 341 additional terminations today, bringing the total number of terminations to ~1,380.

Our messages are not getting outside our bubbles. Been telling a US citizen about the assault on science and the NIH since January. Sent this article today. Response was "What is NSF?"

New study finds where birds are declining most. High trend resolution data reveals complexity of bird population changes. “This is the first time we’ve had fine-scale information on population changes across such broad spatial extents and across entire ranges of species,” said Dr. Amanda Rodewald.

Thanks, Jacquelyn! Yes, check out our new paper! We hope it will serve as an impetus to focus on understanding the processes shaping the assembly, maintenance, and spatiotemporal dynamics of RSPs.

Poor guy. The strain of cruelly destroying dozens of important, life-saving agencies/programs that make our society healthier, smarter, and more resilient, with no clear legal authorization, no transparency, no attempt to understand what agencies do, and no justification must be a lot to bear.

The Trump Administration is stealing from us. NSF-funded research is for the public good by design. Our future scientific workforce. Our ability to use science to solve real-world problems. The joy and wonder we get from learning about our world. Science is for everyone, not just billionaires.

OSU banned departments from considering race in admissions two years ago -- we aren't allowed to know applicants' races, and diversity (of any kind) was removed from all rubrics. So to come after us now shows how useless & futile it is to comply.

NSF is a model federal agency and its program officers are what make it work. There is no sense to these firings except to degrade US scientific capacity.

submitted 103 days ago • 0 comments

Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut. This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.
