🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

And anyone who's taken the Broader Impacts statement seriously.

Appreciate you sharing this.

Bluesky needs more reaction buttons. I cannot <3 this.

Which is the point. The intellectual dark web and podcast ecosystem that Musk subscribes to has long since written off our entire fields as Marxist propaganda and "grievance studies," so this move is best understood as a premeditated attempt to kill the fields dead.

So is math. We're all about equality and inequality. We include and exclude. Etc.

"Historically" as a banned word...I have to laugh to keep from crying.

It's too much. I'm sure the list will keep growing.

It’s real it seems, i think what we do collectively in the next 90 days will determine whether NSF will retain scientific integrity and autonomy from the executive branch 😬 https://www.commerce.senate.gov/services/files/4BD2D522-2092-4246-91A5-58EEF99750BC#page16

This is so disturbing. But it looks like this report was done in October of 2024. I am assuming that what OP shared is more recent?

profandy.bsky.social•23 days ago

Yes I assume the OP’s list is more recent, just noticed plenty overlap with the key words in this report. Someone needs to leak everything they’re being instructed to do over at NSF and other federal funding agencies. This is something out of Orwell!

sylviapperry.bsky.social•23 days ago

Agreed, although I assume they're worried about being sued, etc., which I can't blame them for.
