FYI: The House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, Democratic Staff, is trying to get more info on the impact of recent research grant terminations. If your award has been canceled since Jan 20, you can fill out this survey: democrats-science.house.gov/grantcancela...

Just absolute insanity. There for supposed immigration enforcement, but actually, out in the open saying they’re occupying American cities while framing them as enemies.

In the discussion about yesterday's events, let us not forget why Sen Padilla was trying to interrupt Noem's comments. The LA and CA leadership talks about here were duly elected.

All of NIH funding to Northwestern University is frozen. This pause includes noncompeting approved funding, new and competing grants with fundable scores. No reimbursements for money already spent have been received since March. This situation is rarely reported so please Please get the word out!

🧪 If you had your NSF grant terminated, I'd *highly* recommend going to this Friday's webinar. Friday May 9 at 2-3 pm ET Will talk about both the appeals process, in addition to allowable closeout costs. Share widely. Register here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

FYI: The Spencer Foundation, Kapor Foundation, The William T. Grant Foundation, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation have collaborated to offer $25K rapid response grants. "This rapid response bridge funding opportunity is for scholars and teams whose grants have recently been cancelled by NSF."

I would also love to pay a student! We’re just trying to generate some comparative XRF data for our new machine and get some data for student projects! As long as you can bill a card and make a receipt, let me pay you!

A powerful call has just gone up on the website of the @aacu.org : “A Call for Constructive Engagement” signed by almost 200 college & university presidents (more sure to join), from community colleges to R1s! #academicsky #edusky @academic-chatter.bsky.social www.aacu.org/newsroom/a-c...

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

I am sorry to say it, but this is probably one of the most important things you can repost today.

SCAM ALERT. This is a fake conference that ripped off my and other people’s names to trick people into registering. There is no such conference that I or the others shown were invited or agreed to. We are working to try to get this fraud taken down from the web. chemsymposia.com

Reasons cited in the U.S. Declaration of Independence from the King of Great Britain: "For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world" "For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent" "For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences"

Urgently reposting! University leadership need to actively check the SEVIS database every day (studyinthestates.dhs.gov/sevis-help-hub). Ask your chair to commit to it. Yesterday, UW discovered 9 visa cancellations & only found out b/c they ran a status check. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

The question is why is our legacy media hiding that millions of people are standing up to the taking of our rights?

If a student you know received an honorable mention for the NSF GRFP, encourage them to contact their Congressional representatives! 🧪

Inspired by Cory Booker? Live in Wisconsin? Want to do something about *gestures at everything* but not registered to vote? You can register and vote today! There's still time. The polls are open until 8:00 pm, and if you're registered and in line by that time, stay in line and vote.

Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick says if Social Security skipped a check, his mother-in-law wouldn’t complain—and if you would, it indicates you are probably a fraudster. Insane.

ISO grad students, postbacs, and/or postdocs for interviews for a feature article for a major science publication. Do you have a particularly supportive/compassionate PI who is helping you to navigate the difficult times we're living in? I'm interested in talking with scientists at all levels.

If you have a federal grant, I *highly* recommend going to this Friday's webinar on responding to grant terminations. Lisa Brown, former general counsel at Dept of Ed, will present along with other lawyers. Friday, March 21, 2-3 pm. More info & register here: www.linkedin.com/pulse/regist...

Thank you Ed Luce @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social for pointing out that we PAY into Social Security for our whole work lives and so that is OUR money - in fact a kind of loan to the government. Now it is time to start talking about it as if it is what it is - a govt required savings account.

Could we please move the time change weekend to when it was when I was a kid - the 1st weekend in April - so I don't have to go from getting up in the light to getting up in the dark in one weekend?

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

You know where you can go and not worry about breaking the economic blackout today? Your local library! All those books and you won’t spend a penny!

As federal research grants continue to be frozen, and NIH staff is being gutted, please note this study was funded by federal research grants, including from NIH. If they continue with staff cuts, and continue to freeze new awards, this is just one example of what we lose.

Maybe because we have no eggs to make the damn vaccine.
