12 highly motivated undergraduate STEM scholars had been offered funding (20 hrs/wk) this summer from the @NSF LSAMP program at Missouri State University.
As far as we know, they no longer have summer funding or any funding going forward.
This was the next generation of NSF scientists.

6 STEM Scholars have been offered funding (20 hrs/wk) this summer from the ISU program.
It is unclear if they will allowed to do paid summer research now.

NSF's EES division includes programs **required by law** like the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP), mandated by Congress since the 1990s.
So far, over 70% of active LSAMP grants have already been terminated. Today's news on EES staff firings only heightens the illegality.

👋 first post here! I’m excited to start by sharing our work on CRISPRa-programmed embryo models! We show that CRISPR activation of 2 elements is sufficient to form an embryo model similar to a natural embryo www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @cp-cellstemcell.bsky.social @ucscgenomics.bsky.social

The Trump administration's efforts to slash research funding have US graduate students, postdocs and other early-career scientists fearing for their careers. Some might leave the country -- or abandon research altogether.
