Big CONGRATS to @kacizarek.bsky.social!!! Her new paper is out in @agu.org's JGR-B!

The paper has a little bit of everything -- N biogeochemistry, intermittent stream hydrology, concentration-connectivity relationships!

Microbes that naturally occur in soils can capture methane leaking from decommissioned oil and gas wells, new #AGUpubs study reports. Soils could be used as a nature-based solution for methane mitigation, the findings suggest.

Is your NSF grant on this list? Reach out if so!

Ted Cruz released a list of grants flagged for DEI or "neo-Marxist class warfare propaganda" from his Oct. report.

NSF is using keywords from that report for their review, though Cruz's list is likely larger.

hello all - has anyone heard anything about NSF postdocs or GRFPs getting their February stipends today? 🧪
Weird, #5 on the FAQ section no longer reflects what you have from earlier this weekend. No specifics regarding GRFP

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.
