Musk totally humiliated Trump during their joint Oval Office press conference. Musk brought along his 4-year-old son — making Trump look like the kid’s babysitter — disrespectfully wore a T-shirt and baseball cap, and even interrupted Trump.
It’s clear who’s really in control, and it ain’t Trump.

I would not be a professor if not for NSF funding I received from undergrad through dissertation. They're trying to starve us out of existence. Vance called professors "the enemy".
It's also wasteful and cruel. They're playing not just with the future of science, but also with thousands of jobs.

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.💔

Per an NIH source:
“Discussions with colleagues have suggested that if the universities all come together and raise hell about the delays to funding caused by not holding meetings, that might move the needle. From every state. There are well-funded universities in red states that will be impacted.”

For those outside of academia, the Dept. Education thing is extraordinary interference.
I am not allowed to accept grant funding if the sponsor gets a say over what I publish. That's important. It protects me from outside pressure to tank results that are politically or financially inconvenient.

They're also trying to humiliate and demoralize scientists and researchers. These grant proposals can take years to develop. Peoples' jobs depend on it. The review process also takes many hours and is performed primarily as a service to the community. And now everybody involved feels like an idiot.
I am begging the national media to start taking this seriously.
Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause."
They are altering the review processes of federally funded scientific research from merit-based peer review processes to political screening by ideologues.
