“A WESA analysis found that if the indirect cost cuts were implemented for the 2024 fiscal year, the University of Pittsburgh would have seen a $115 million drop in indirect funds.” No one in the world can absorb an abrupt drop like that. So sad for the students 😔 www.wesa.fm/health-scien...

Got this from a member of the NASA resistance. It’s now hanging outside my lab in a display case, because we make space for everyone! Also, space embroidery, because you can never have too much #sciart 🧪🔭🎢

Brag moment- we just secured a grant to host the first-ever Oregon Astronomy Research Symposium (OARS)!!! For the first time ever, all self-identifying astronomers in the state of Oregon will come together at UO to share research, network, and forge new collaborations. Can't wait! 🔭🧪🎢

This morning, the US National Science Foundation fired 168 employees, approximately 10% of its workforce, for no cause other than they were the agency's most recent hires. 🧪 Co-workers are leaving supportive messages before they have to clear out of the building at 5 p.m. Sent to me by a source ⬇️

Hey, astronomers! What are your favorite in-class activities for 2nd/3rd year undergrad astrophysics class? Mine is 2 hours long, twice a week, and I think we'd all be much happier if I didn't just lecture that full time period... 🧪🎢🔭
