Hi #chemsky, we are having lots of trouble acquiring methyl vinyl ketone. Several suppliers, @sigmaaldrich.bsky.social, @thermofishersci.bsky.social, claim that they have it, but they actually do not, and they claim they do not know when it will arrive from their supplier.

Today was a hard day for Ph.D. students who found out that they can no longer apply for NSF's prestigious Graduate Research Fellowship Program. "Devastating“ was how one student described it to me. #GradSchool #NSFGRFP

‘Completely shattered.’ Changes to NSF’s graduate student fellowship spur outcry
The announcement comes months later than usual, leaving many would-be applicants stranded

Announcing such a major change to NSF GRFP this late in the cycle is incredibly cruel. 2nd yr students (mine included) have been working so hard on their proposals despite ongoing uncertainty. They are driven and passionate about being outstanding scientists and helping those coming up behind them.

Really delighted this is out @ ACS Catalysis. The chemistry looks a lot like a job prop I wrote 4 years ago, and we've spent a good chunk of the group's history learning a LOT about Ti photochem. Congrats especially to Jagrut, who defended 2 weeks ago! doi.org/10.1021/acsc...

This is not just HHMI. All Chan Zuckerberg Initiative funding calls are CLOSED. The Gates Foundation has no Grand Challenges funding opportunities. I've never seen anything like this. Private foundations have just decided to stop supporting biomedical research.

Just to give the TL;DR on this one:
*The* main purpose of the EO is to move funding priorities and decisions away from experts and career professionals over to political appointees. With the ultimate power held by Vought / OMB.
