(1) Continue to speak up about the value of science and U.S. government funding in science — e.g. about how investments in science drive technological innovation, lead to treatments and cures for diseases, etc. Speaking up can take a lot of forms. Every conversation matters.

Should LLMs be used to review papers? AAAI is piloting LLM-generated reviews this year. I wrote a blog post arguing that using LLMs as reviewers can have bad downstream consequences for science by centralizing judgments about what constitutes good research.

Feminist social epistemology teaches us that diversity is a *requirement* for scientific excellence. We need each other to know the world. We need each other to solve the thorny problems that threaten our existence. Knowing the world is a group project, and everyone has something to contribute.

Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

Removing SROs will slow grant review, and that will reduce grant funding.

The SRO move is designed to look plausible.
Looks like another "NIH" statement passed down by the Trump/MAGA political appointees. (We hear that DOGE people are showing up at #NIH meetings, like Soviet apparatchiks, to monitor NIH leaders.)
