Check out our new paper using @nchatstudy.bsky.social dyadic data to measure sexual minority couples. The levels are twice as high when you consider the sexual identity of BOTH members of the couple. @chrisajulian.bsky.social

🧪 UPDATE: NSF just opened itself even further to lawsuit.

Yesterday, it doubled down on the false claim that its 1,000+ grant terminations are "not subject to appeal."

See question 16 here, published Friday afternoon: www.nsf.gov/updates-on-p...

A brief thread... 🧵

Dr. David Miller 🏳️‍🌈 @davidimiller.bsky.social · Apr 20

🧪 Tip: You have the right to contest a grant termination, even though NSF says you don't. 🧵

On Friday, NSF terminated 402 grants (per Musk's DOGE).

The notification letters had one of the most egregious violations of fed regulations I've seen so far in these cases:

"not subject to appeal"

Megan Zahneis @mzahneis.bsky.social · Apr 18

Here's a copy of an NSF grant termination notice that went out today. "NSF is issuing this termination to protect the interests of the government pursuant...on the basis that they no longer effectuate the program goals or agency priorities." Not subject to appeal. #HigherEd #AcademicSky
