what a clever, sad & on point cartoon satire…

Every US scientist needs to 100% clear that this is a fundamental attack on the process of science itself. If allowed to stand it will be the end of US science as we know it. Staying quiet because it does not (yet) target your work is not an option. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Nice big group of young scientists from #SouthwesternU attending @txacsci.bsky.social 2025 - molecular ecologists, physiologists, neurobiologists, chemists, engineers, computer scientists. It’s good to #celebratescience

100% this. No words to thank staffers enough - Except there are other words to describe the situation w science & treatment of #NSF & #NIH in general that I’m no longer allowed to use in social media. Here I provide some alternatives: #tragic #criminal #shortsighted #dystopic #heartbreaking

None of the research I do now would occur if not for past opportunities provided by #NSF #IRES expanded my thinking and scientific toolkit. Transformative is not just an adjective - it’s actionable. 2014: apple snails from #Uruguay. 2024-2025: now able to explore diversity in #Belize.

Not the way to tighten the belt of the federal government. Even if, any short term gain will be exponentially lost by the long term cost of devaluation of the scientific process. #leaveNSFalone #letsciencework #protectpotential #fostercuriosity #valuediveristy

nearly 11% of the NSF workforce was fired today. this WILL slow scientific progress. this is hurting families. we need to educate folks about all the GOOD that the gov't can do! To help @500womensci.bsky.social has made social media cards for what #NSF funds in each state: bit.ly/NSF_bystate

This is insane. Disgusting is another word. Really wish it was a post from The Onion. WTF? C’mon….Let’s not just let the gov’t disrupt science now when we [the other ppl w $$$] can dismantle the future. Who thinks all the medical ills will just vanish?

“Since 1980, Congress has mandated that the agency seek to broaden participation of underrepresented groups […] The NSF spokesperson did not respond to a query about concerns that Trump’s executive orders are at odds with the agency’s responsibilities, as codified in law.”

Starts w cancelling grant review labels and then a downward spiral! Insipid domino effects…you can’t just reset everything as it was by just “oops, it’s rescinded.” Actions have consequences for real people.

Reaffirming science night working on data analysis w 2 of my undergrads. Looks like exciting finds from #applesnails in #Belize. Excited 2 run results by @pomacea.bsky.social soon! Just a note - my current project would not be possible without what I learned from past #NSF collaboration.

Somewhere in the U.S., there’s a scientist staring at their NSF/NIH grant application wondering why they bother. This post is for you. Science and society both need you. Hang in there and know there is a whole community supporting you.

Good to see some checks & balances still exist in our gov’t…I wish I thought “someone” would thing twice about issuing the next poorly conceived order…but alas. Perhaps the message of hope is patience for reversal. #scienceadvocate #newneedforpoliticalawareness
