The whole "$1 NIH dollar generates $2.50 in output" sells science wildly short. Scientific discovery and technological development is the foundation on which our entire society is built -- and that includes all the businesses that operate within it. The throughlines are shorter than you think: 1/n

Here’s how extreme the NSF budget cuts could be:
The bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act authorized an NSF budget of $18B for the next year.
But per last night, a White House proposal could set that as low as…$3B, about **one-sixth of the CHIPS authorization**
Call your rep with that info!!

Scientific institutions have a long history of anticipatory obedience
Societies should learn from this and speak up to support inclusion

wow, MEG + 7T? (& more)
looks like a very cool resource!

WOMEN and FEMALE are red flag words. (Men, male are not on the list). Let that sink in.
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.
