NEW: NSF confirmed that they fired 168 employees today, out of their staff of ~1,500 feds. This includes some people who'd finished their 1-year probationary periods, which were extended to 2-years last month without explanation. More to come.

👋🏻 I wanted to say hi and reintroduce myself to all of the new community building here. I'm David and I study the effects of changing landscapes on carnivore populations -- including hyenas, lions, fishers, & foxes. But now I'm doing something new. A 🧵 🧪 #AcademicSky #SciPub
