I hope you will all join me in expressing your thanks to the NIH and NSF staff who are working in an impossibly difficult and chaotic environment to keep science going in our country.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.
White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion
The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

First day in the new lab done :) basically just made a bunch of media for my cultures. But I’m gonna be ramping up siderophore characterisation soonish?

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Whoa siderophore biosynthesis is pretty neat!

Ugh this grant proposal is sapping my will to live ahah. The draft is done. If needs be I can hand it in. I need a nice long hot shower and a good bouldering/climbing sesh to recover after this tho

Just had a project discussion meeting for my research masters project and I’m feeling SO EXCITED. There is so much potential and I can’t wait to dig my teeth into it

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

Anyway, just create. Write shit, draw shit, build whatever you want, that's the important part.

There's no be-all end-all formula for the Perfect Work.

Just be YOU. No one can ever create what YOU create b/c it's you making it, and you are the only you.
