Good thing to do. But these may not be very secure. People need to be safe.

Not impacted by NSF this week (yet), but hearing impacts unfolding from NASA, causing a LOT of confusion and concern here. We simply don't know how significant this will be yet... and that makes is HARD to teach, train, guide our students/staff today

This is the first report of a freeze of National Science Foundation meetings that I have seen. Can you provide any sources? The National Institute of Health (and indeed all of HHS) meeting freeze is of course devastating.

Found a source on the NSF grant evaluation freeze, unfortunately: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/01/27/trump-presidency-news/#link-7P4XE6CJD5BVRHTR2U2DIEBMJY

Reminder that Signal has very good security and encryption and that you should use it for sensitive communications rather than email

What about people who left science years ago because they could sense the cultural battle at every small piece of information and were educated in how conservatives dismantle science every chance they get?
