Funding Cuts Are a ‘Gut Punch’ for STEM Education Researchers www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/s...

Rep. Zoe Lofgren, ranking Democrat on the House Committee on Science, Space, & Technology shared a report yesterday highlighting the many issues & errors of the Cruz report on supposed radical left-wing ideology funded by NSF. Definitely worth a read. democrats-science.house.gov/imo/media/do...

"Effective today, NSF’s division of grants and awards is returning all grant proposals previously approved for funding and awaiting final signoff to the program officers who oversaw the initial review. In the meantime, according to those sources, NSF will not make any new awards."

If a Democratic president was going to be secretly impounding FEMA money earmarked for red states it would cripple the administration for a year.

The measles outbreak in Texas has doubled to 48 cases.

"All of the cases are in unvaccinated people or those who have unknown vaccination status. Most cases are in children 5 to 17 years old.

Among the 48 cases, 13 have been hospitalized."

Pres. Trump defended his decision to impose tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, acknowledging they may cause “some pain” but claiming it “will all be worth the price,” as the import taxes have been widely condemned by business groups and economists who warn they’ll raise prices for Americans.

This is going to have a huge ripple effect. It doesn't just impact university researchers!

How can schools of education better partner with districts, schools, and teachers to innovate in ways that support strong teacher preparation? The article mentioned residencies and we've implemented mediated field experiences as a possibility. #mathteaching #teacherprep

OSU-Cascades opens its new Student Success Center. Students can now enjoy a vibrant hub with study spaces, student services, and more as part of the university's expansion plans.

#ITeachMath Highly recommend reading this new piece by @nomadpenguin.bsky.social, particularly those interested in a much more nuanced way of understanding polarized debates about pedagogy.

I really appreciate this commentary from Chuck Munter: "The myth(s) of the 'balanced' approach" to mathematics teaching #iteachmath #mtbos
