My ongoing request:

If your NSF or NIH grant was terminated--whether at Harvard or elsewhere--please report it here.

NSF: grant-watch.us/submit-nsf.h...

NIH: grant-watch.us/submit-nih.h...

Our trackers are actively used in lawsuits and are often the only record that terminations ever occurred.
NSF appears to be terminating hundreds of its grants to Harvard, per internal sources at NSF and at Harvard. At least one division has had all its grants cut.

Economic pundits like Jim Cramer were on CNBC this morning wondering who exactly is going to eat the tariffs. The companies? The investors? The people?

Definitely the people.

Save this Elon Musk tweet from today, as the degree to which it is willfully false will shortly be seen as historically mortifying

I was watching this video recently and keep thinking that aspects of this would be of incredible use to US cities in the fight against traffic congestion. Please watch, and consider asking to implement these measures (many can be done cheaply!)

It has snowed in Chicago and YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! Time to remind everyone that we light our train tracks on fire to prevent the switches from freezing.

With so many new users, some may be looking for a place to look at a running list of news articles.

See: bsky.app/profile/hwhi...

Most major English-language news organizations are aggregated there, and others can be added my messaging me.

Cheers!
