Supposedly leaked by an NSF program officer. Banned words and decision tree guidance.

Ugh.

For what's it's worth #science, here's some info from my institution re. the NIH policies and the link they provided:

www.cogr.edu/2025-adminis...
Screenshot of an email: These are reportedly short-term measures until such time as new administration officials and staff are in place to ensure consistency with the president’s priorities and policies. Similar directives have been issued at the onset of previous new administrations. The uncertainty surrounding federal research funding has understandably created some anxiety and concern among scientists, and access to up-to-date information can be helpful. To help navigate new directives and their impacts on research institutions, like UA, The Council on Governmental Relations (COGR) – the national authority on federal policies and regulations affecting U.S. research institutions – has created a new webpage on “2025 Administration Transition Information & Resources”. This is a helpful page for those that wish to access the most up-to-date information on Department/Agency Directives, articles published in the press and journals, Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) News, and Institutional Communications on Federal Funding Updates.

In honor of the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show I present these sulfur crystals.

Are they special? Of course they are! My toddler thought they were candy and tried to eat them 🤷🏽

Sulfur crystals in a plastic casing...because my toddler thought it was candy and tried to eat it.

The #lazysunday after Thanksgiving is blissfully quiet everywhere. My daughter and I were practically the only people at the Children's Museum
