🧪🚨 NSF's Directorate for STEM Education (EDU) has halted making nearly all new awards since inauguration day.
Among *many* other things, EDU runs the Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP).
We need to protect the education & training of the next gen of scientists #StandUpForScience

Here are the three goals of the March 7th #standupforscience as information is altered & removed, funding changed in ways that penalize scientists, & needed expansion in participation replaced with opportunities for less.

Universities have rightly made investments in DEIA to improve student success. As professors, we should reaffirm our commitment to educating all of our students. If you agree, we encourage you to sign this open letter to our students #AcademicSky #NeuroSky 🧪: medium.com/@dearstudent...

I created a brief spreadsheet of reductions I've heard of so far. Any additions you know of (especially if you have the links/receipts) would be great: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I took biochem in 2001, and for nearly 20 years read amino acid sequences daily… and I never knew Dayhoff named them or even the logic behind things like Q until last Friday (h/t Mike Janech). Also, this is another big Dayhoff moment for me. She was incredible!
