It's also Black History Month and "Black" was among those words allegedly flagged. We cannot erase our colleagues, community, and their experiences, invaluable perspectives, and contributions.

We love all aquatic eight-legged wonders of the world 🐙🌊🤝💧🐻 ...plus an amazing scientist and speaker !!

Folks who can’t be out and about, volunteer opportunity:

National Science Foundation suspends salary payments, leaving researchers unable to pay their bills www.statnews.com/2025/01/30/t... Story by @ericboodman.bsky.social

To expand on this, right now ~200 postdoc fellows directly funded by NSF are locked out of their salary &research funds right before the first of the month. No doubt other NSF funded grads &postdocs are affected as well. All requests for funds put in before the freeze are slowly being cancelled
