Like so many others, I was funded by NSF at a critical stage in my career; 14 months in Kenya doing research changed everything for me. The science projects funded across numerous disciplines annually are foundational to humans' and other animals' wellbeing. YES, we need to make noise. 🧪 #NSF

🧪 Yet more vandalism against the global scientific community - NSF might be in America, but its research, networks and impact reach far beyond. British & European scientific bodies should stand up for their colleagues.

Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut. This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.
