NSF employees coordinate grant programs, organize and run panels that award grants, and work with awardees to ensure progress, among other functions. Reducing staffing at NSF will not make it more efficient, it will further burden already overburdened employees, making NSF less efficient.

Here’s an article to be sharing with friends and family that don’t “get” what the federal agencies Trump and Musk are gutting do: this is what the US looked like before the EPA. “The river caught on fire” isn’t a joke or a metaphor. 🧪

It is so terribly ominous that Drumpf and his Christianists are busy removing the T from LGBTQ. When you refuse the humanity of some you ultimately eliminate the humanity of all of us. I fear we are repeating history.

Wel, no surprise that Coyne used his blog (whyevolutionistrue) to argue with the SSE/SSB/ASN letter about definitions of sex. I'm not going to engage deeply with the letter here. Like any committee-drafted text it reflects compromises; I agree with some phrasing but some could have been clearer 1/N

Hardly new info, but BSky should know: Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply. Thank you, little guardian molluscs. 🧪🌏🚰
