New story from @dangaristo.bsky.social on the NSF grad fellowship cuts:

A key point: “GRFPs are one of the most cost-effective ways for NSF to give out money,” Evans says, because the outcome is a trained, promising young scientist and it’s relatively inexpensive.

Major, (+) news. The NSF GRFP is a primary mechanism by which doctoral students are able to fund their research. These students receive a barely-livable stipend to do an enormous volume of scientific work; in exchange, they earn a PhD. 1 reason why academia is actually MORE efficient $ than industry
🧪 NSF GRFP update!

New graduate NSF fellowships will likely be announced this week for the GRFP (see bottom of 🧵 for why).

First off, I'm *very* glad to hear of those going forward, given the otherwise bleak year so far for graduate training.

Some observations... 1/12

11/12 Hence, there's circumstantial cues that GRFP awards will be announced this week, in addition to NSF officially and publicly committing to "first half of April" this year.

As you can see from this thread, many people are anxiously waiting very, very closely:

Based on recent incidents like this one, I can't in good conscience, recommend that any (non-U.S.) prospective PhD student or Postdoc seek a position in the U.S. at this time.

It’s been a devastating 24 hours with 3 NIH grants terminated…all focused on the health and wellbeing of trans or intersex youth. If folks have any ideas of foundations that may be interested in supporting the completion of these projects so years of work aren’t wasted, please let me know. 🙏

If you applied to a Clinical or Non-Clinical Psychology PhD this cycle, you probably saw brutal acceptance rates. But here's the thing- those numbers don’t tell the full story. Let’s break down the hidden factors behind PhD admissions. 🧵 1/3 (Acc. rate graphs on 3/3)

13 years ago today, I presented my first scientific poster. 2 years later, I experienced a mental health crisis. Today, I am still a scientist. My research is on youth mental health. I #standupforscience because we need to do this research, and we especially need to help our most marginalized youth.
