Stories coming from around the country that students are having their SEVIS status randomly restored, just as randomly as it was terminated. Suggests that ICE is either reversing these terminations on a large scale or having actual human beings finally look at cases and make decisions.
One of the happiest updates I’ve written since I started following this story. 12 students back in status and maybe more to come. Across the country, students are saying their SEVIS is back.

🚨Report your NSF grant terminations! 🚨
We are starting to collect information on NSF grant terminations to create a shared resource as we have for NIH. The more information we collect, the more we can organize, advocate, and fight back! Please share widely!

The rationale for this cancellation is climate denial.
There is no dressing it up, there is no tiptoeing around it.
Yet climate change doesn’t care if we believe it. It will destroy our homes, multiply insurance rates, wreak economic havoc and more — regardless of our opinions or voting record.

Yesterday was the darkest day of my professional life so far. Many of NSF’s best and brightest people fired indiscriminately. The terms of their firing cruel. My colleagues matter, they are valued and they make a difference. I have no words. www.npr.org/2025/02/18/n...
National Science Foundation fires roughly 10% of its workforce
NSF fired 168 employees, leaving the agency less equipped to fund a wide range of scientific research.

It's an initial attempt, and it was interesting for me to learn the tensorflow package (and run it myself!) CNN does a good job, but work needs to be done in matching the training protocol (every image one at a time) with the use case (finding evidence of flow over a long period of time).
