The NSF Bio Anthro Program DDRIG, Cultural Anthrpology DDRIG, and Archaeology DDRIG have all been archived (as of yesterday afternoon). Please speak with your grad students and plan accordingly. To say I am angry and depressed about this is an understatement.

Cells reallocate their limited energy for cellular maintenance in response to nutrient scarcity, but how? This study shows that the nucleolar RNA #exosome surveillance mechanism can be temporarily inhibited, reducing translation in #Celegans to adapt to starvation @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3Zs1B6c

This hit list is a disgrace, as is any form of censorship based on the banishment of key words and acronyms. This government censorship violates the free speech, academic freedom, and research norms that until now have made US universities the envy of the world.
My colleagues and I are on the hit list for having "social justice" in our project-a successful project supported by a professional organization & used as a model by others. Scientists must work together to push back & Institutions must support them www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/2/cruz-...

Nothing embodies the incompetence of the administration more than the title of the download from this press release being "Public Database_Release (1) (1)"

NIH and now NSF.
Effectively the entirety of science funding in America is on hold.

I’m an NSF panel reviewer that was scheduled to meet today. Just got notice that all NSF panels were canceled today. I reviewed some innovative proposals in support of students. Devastating if these scholars don’t get to do this work. For the love of science & students I hope this is just a delay.💔
