Day 1 of our Walder Foundation sponsored Data Nuggets @datanuggets.bsky.social workshop was a big success! Scientists from Loyola, the Field Museum and Chicago State built new Data Nuggets on prairie restoration, Anolis lizards, plant microbiomes, and endangered mice..and we caught a Cubs game!

Our #NSF grant, supporting a fruitful collaboration with the @cissyballen.bsky.social Lab, was terminated, along with over 1,600 others. We describe the impact of this loss in a press release here. datanuggets.org/2025/06/nsf-...

Though our recent #NSF grant was terminated, the @datanuggets.bsky.social program still continues through support from the @kbslter.bsky.social and other sources! We're searching for future funding opportunities and will continue to help share authentic datasets and science stories with students!

Pretty much every free lesson and video we've created has been funded by NSF. We are heartbroken for the labs that are losing funding, for the teachers and students that will miss out on future resources, & the American people who don't yet recognize what they will lose by defunding science🧪
Further grant terminations from NSF. I don't yet have a list of what has been cut.
It's been hard to concentrate today when every email ping could a notice from NSF that another of our grants is being terminated.

Becky, who studies bluefin killifish, noticed that males found in springs with clear water have red or yellow fins, while males in swamps have blue fins. In this activity, explore data she collected to test the mechanism behind this pattern. #edusky #DNOTW 🧪
