A good summary and excellent set of questions to NIH and NSF leadership from Sens. Markey and Warren here - they ask for answers by 2/26, wonder if they'll get any?

National Science Foundation restores payments after five-day pause, but worries over science funding persist

I am an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow (SPRF) whose funding has been paused. I am in limbo regarding whether I'm going to be paid or whether my grant will be cancelled.
