Our NSF grant on "Source Credibility, Political Identity, and Factual Belief Revision" with Jonathan Woon was also just cancelled because it is no longer "in alignment with current NSF priorities". This is sad and frustrating!

This statement from the NSF is insane.

Science is, in essence, designed to separate the true from the false.

Understanding how falsehoods spread is key to the scientific endeavor. It is not a violation of free speech to be proven wrong.
