A recent paper led by collaboration members Yoonsoo Kim and Elias Most (both at Caltech) is in @aasnova.org today! This work explores the formation of strongly magnetized "monster" shocks and a transient "black hole pulsar" state from mergers of a magnetized neutron star and a black hole.

Our community flourished because of 3 NSF grants we earned 10 years ago.
We were awarded another one to grow the community and move us to sustainability without federal support.
Each day that passes brings worry that we won't be able to do so.

Exclusive: National Science Foundation staff were told today that the agency’s 37 divisions—across all eight directorates—are being abolished and the number of programs within those divisions will be drastically reduced.

@phetsims.bsky.social singlehandedly got #ITeachPhysics through emergency remote instruction in 2020.
So for the past 15th years or so, maybe longer, I've been using phET simulations in my classes. The NSF just cut at 1.5 M grant to phET because I guess the government doesn't find these educational tools worthwhile anymore. Cool.
