Thanks for reading.

Onward!

NSF considers CAREER the "Foundation's most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research & education." Having been selected, then lose it after 6 months of waiting on edge was heartbreaking news for me & my collaborators.

Moreover, we must demand that the overt politicization of scientific funding immediately stop to ensure that the damage already inflicted at the NSF, NIH, NOAA and so many sources other federal funding and cutting-edge research does not become irreparable.

As many others before me have already said, these are unprecedented times. If you have not done so already, please consider calling 📞 your senators and congressional representatives to demand that science funding in the U.S. be maintained if not expanded in the future.

This project was the result of ~15 years of relations & previous work to say nothing of the time that I & colleagues invested to craft the proposal.
