We are happy to see folks in Congress stepping up, but we need more than sternly worded letters. We need action. The US scientific enterprise is at stake #resist
NEWS: I just led 112 of my colleagues in demanding answers from the Trump Administration on their funding freeze of the National Science Foundation.
Cutting off NSF funding threatens vital research, stalls innovation, and risks ceding global scientific leadership to China.

So what should NSF grantees, worried by terminated grants, do? That's something I've been thinking a lot about, given my own NSF grants.
First, I'd encourage to read this AAUP guide focused squarely on NSF grant termination policies: www.aaup.org/sites/defaul...

“NSF announced it was returning all grant proposals previously approved for funding and awaiting final signoff... In the meantime, according to sources, NSF will not make any new awards.”

The amazing @roope.bsky.social dug deep on this and teaming up with topologist extraordinaire @allisonhenrich1.bsky.social we devised a first-ever tidy way of turning knot patterns into string code, which can then be analysed readily for patterns. We natch also have the coordinates.

Two Republican senators told me tonight this vote shows they can execute the same strategy again — cut Democrats out of the negotiations on a gov’t funding bill, pass it thru the House, and expect Senate Dems to back down and not filibuster it.
“We liked it over here,” one said.
