Great first day at the #OSFair2025 at CERN in Geneva.
First a tour of the antimatter factory. I entered France on the way over without even knowing. Then a minute poster pitch i failed to prepare, capped off with the actual poster session and #wine

I started playing with the #NSF #GRFP award data (still open btw [1]). As we heard, this award program was also slashed [2] Below is a visual to see how we haven't had this few granted fellows for 15 years.

This is going to kill many public libraries, especially in rural areas. If you use a public library, you will be impacted. #imls is a dust mote in the federal budget. It also provides things like internet at your local library so people can apply for jobs and kids can do homework.
This, by the by, is an effing disaster if it holds up. The number of public libraries that will go under if IMLS is shuttered is mind-boggling. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Science is Under Siege: The Open Science Community Must Act and Lead by Example
Worldwide, science is under attack by anti-scientific movements. The new US administration has thrown the entire academy into chaos, threatening global health. This article is a call for the open science community to practice what it preaches and lead by example in defending science.

#NewMexicoTech was an excellent institution for me.
We sensed that leadership was corrupt, but that quickly changed when President Stephen Wells arrived.
I am not surprised at all that Wells uncovered this corruption and was forced out because of it.

This. My dad had an endowed position but every other person in his lab was grant funded, often from cobbling together grants that each ran for years. To just stop all of them? People don't eat, AND in medical research, if people can't work you might lose whole experiments.
I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.
“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Openness scored the lowest between metrics of competence, benevolence, integrity, and openness!
