Clean Water Action in Minnesota helped deliver a win in May 2023, when @governorwalz.mn.gov signed the strongest PFAS reduction provisions in the country. Amara’s Law bans some products containing PFAS in 2025 and all non-essential uses of PFAS chemicals by 2032.

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale
NSF has posted an “update on priorities.”
They’re canceling all “DEI and misinformation/disinformation” grants.
And the guidance on how to fulfill the longstanding, legally mandated Broadening Participation requirement is utterly incoherent.

there is absolutely nothing standing in the way of more moderate democrats being aggressive opponents of the white house and holding public events highlighting their opposition
@aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov's rallies have been so successful that it's "worrying some moderate Democrats who fear Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez could tug the party to the left."

The two progressives are bringing energy to a party that has been exhausted and furious in the second Trump era.

Reminder: research is a multi-step process. Pausing the peer review panels by itself creates months of delay.

I’m an NSF panel reviewer that was scheduled to meet today. Just got notice that all NSF panels were canceled today. I reviewed some innovative proposals in support of students. Devastating if these scholars don’t get to do this work. For the love of science & students I hope this is just a delay.💔
