The National Science Foundation cancelled over 60 grant review panels today, effectively grinding funding of new projects to a halt.
The so-far indefinite pause comes as NSF grapples with the impact Trump's executive orders will have on their grantmaking process.

It’s been nearly 8 years since I attended the science march in our nation’s capital. It’s disheartening, to say the least, that things have only gotten worse since then. The fight never stops!

We have larger concerns heading into 2025, but I can't let go of the idea that the next season of Sesame Street could be its last. So I wrote about why the kids' TV institution is still vital after more than 50 years:

Going into the new year, I will be creating a lot more science communication and education content. In a lot of ways, 2024 was a year that made me come to terms with what I want to do versus what I was meant to do.

What makes submarine pitchers so effective?
I used to think they released the ball closer to home plate, but that is wrong!
They make up for a lack in velocity with deception and spin.
A normal fastball has backspin, but a submarine fastball rotates forward and toward the pitching arm side.

Although rooted in scientific truth, it is a myth that turkey makes you sleepy because it’s packed with tryptophan.
Turkey does in fact contain tryptophan, but not enough to put you to sleep.
You’re probably just sleepy from overeating all your favorite holiday foods!
