NOAA’s office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research’s main contract for its websites was not approved for renewal, so I’m told we should expect some of them to start to go down.
“Lutnick's position on every contract is ‘no’ and agency reps have roughly a minute and a half to convince him otherwise.”

We've received multiple notes that NOAA research services (Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research) may go offline at midnight. @safeguardingdata.bsky.social is working on web archiving, but if others want to nominate on this, that might be good: digital2.library.unt.edu/nomination/G...

Please join my cell biology colleagues and CALL Congress. emails are not as impactful. Here is a simple sample script
![“Hello, my name is [Dr. Jim Smith], and I live on [Main Street in Anytown, Connecticut]. I am a [biomedical researcher at the State University], where I study [briefly describe your research]. This research is funded by the [NIH] and is crucial because [in one sentence explain why your research is important to the public].
The decision by the NIH to immediately reduce the amount of funds it provides universities to support biomedical research will have a devastating impact on American science.
Universities are vital partners in the research we do. Without the administrative support and the research facilities they provide, I could not do my research.
I am deeply concerned about the implications of this decision on America’s standing as the world’s leader in life science research.
I urge [Senator Jones] to take action to stop these reductions in university research support. Thank you for your time, and I would be happy to discuss this further at any time.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:r3avzdjyhu6jm7vxia265ncu/bafkreic44hnsrs4r5z7wf2vbebjkcgmq27uecx5qekvsc3jnk4endtunbi@jpeg)

To my friends and colleagues at UAB, IU, UF, FSU, UL, WashU, OSU, CWRU, etc, etc. Call both your senators and your representative. They listen. Emphasize the direct economic impact of NIH research, and the indirect impacts on pharmaceutical/biotech. Underscore its relevance to national security.
The Senate HELP Committee has jurisdiction over NIH.
GOP members of the committee represent AK, AL, IN, FL, KS, KY, LA, ME, MO, OH, and SC.
Research universities and hospitals in those states need to be extra loud.
