Folks are telling me that archived doesn't necessarily mean cancelled, but also that panel this year has been cancelled. I haven't been able to get in touch with the program officers yet.

Ugh. I heard today that LTER was archived, but it's not cancelled. It sound like you know this for sure? I have a very sad postdoc right now that I'd love to give some hope...

Such a bummer. I'm assuming this means there is no hope for current proposals.

That’s so funny. I had exactly the opposite reaction. I thought it was great to engage with disagreement. Maybe they’ll go home and think it over and their perspective will broaden. Plus there was a lot of support

I get that. Any one of us over there will do little, but I wonder about the whole community pushing back to sway narratives, thoughts, ideas, and so on. But you're right, the experience there is poor

I accept that. I'm not active there, or here really, any more. But I really want to fight right now, so maybe I'll try to make the case for science over there. Perhaps social media is not the way, but I can't help but think that if we were all back there fighting, it would be a start

I really don't know. Someone just came in my office crying that they are losing their job, possibly the whole coop unit. I want to fight and this is not a good place to fight. This is a good place to console maybe though.

This is the bullying I was worried about when moving over here.

Whoa, that’s terrible! Very surprising
