No words to describe how difficult yesterday was at NSF. 10% of our employees gone. World-leading experts across science, technology, and education. Skilled workers dedicated to using their talents for public service. It is a devastating loss for those who remain and for the American people.

How much harm is done when states lose federal funding?
State revenue — tanked 📉

Education, small business, community support, scientific research, healthcare.
It’s your jobs, your security. It’s feeding children.

“I don’t do politics.”
Oh baby, you do.

If you want to change the future, you’ve gotta find a seat at the kids (soon to be adults!) table! Another season of science fair judging underway 🤗

I don’t know what the future of the U.S. is, let alone #TikTok, but I made a farewell TT video last week, so now it’s a HELLO BlueSky video!

I made my first viral TikTok in 2019 and hundreds of videos later I am devastated about the likely loss of the platform, but am excited to be here!

Do you use data in the U.S.? A few weeks ago, we dropped "Innovating the Data Ecosystem: An Update of the Federal Big Data Research and Development Strategic Plan” !
Grateful for the team who put this together and for the opportunity to come on as a writer 🙏
