Having been part of scientific research councils in Canada, the UK, the US, and Mexico, I consider the NSF to be hands down the most rigorous, fair, and impactful agency. It is now being dismantled, which is a catastrophy for global science. This is serious folks.

Columbia Canceled My Course on Race and Media. I'm Going to Teach It Anyway.
This is not a time for media literacy or historical knowledge to be held hostage by institutions bending the knee to authoritarianism.

Congratulations to #silvascience alumn Dr Esteban Rojas Gatjens who was a finalist for the Division of Chemical Physics Justin Junkas Doctoral Dissertation Award of the American Physical Society. His PhD thesis on nonlinear coherent spectroscopy of 2D metal halides was highly original and impactful.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

We will take all the steps necessary to defend our nation from a hostile foreign power including filling the shelves with great Canadian whiskey.
