Academic friends, if your NSF grants have been terminated by the administration, FABBS is hosting a webinar Friday about appealing the decisions. It's important that as many people appeal as possible to show we're not accepting this targeting of science. Link to the webinar registration is below.

Besides killing innovation, this action on NSF puts 8 decades of freely available, consistent, rigorous, & widely used time-series evidence about who we are, what we do, what we want, & what we know at risk of never being collected again. The ANES and GSS are at risk. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
