Instead of cutting costs for working families, Donald Trump is slashing the federal investments that fund their lifesaving care, fuel their local economy, and lower their health care costs.
It’s cruel, short-sighted, and will cost jobs and devastate millions of families.

NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately
Researchers say it would hurt facilities that work on medical issues such as cancer research and heart disease. Elon Musk contends the old policy was ‘a ripoff.’

If you are on a study section that will not be reviewing diversity fellowships but will be reviewing "regular" fellowships, your next move is clear. Do not participate in the review unless all submissions can be reviewed together. Reclassify diversity grants as "regular" grants & review them all
I removed the ID of the posters but at what point do we have a moral imperative here? I would not want to participate in a process that explicitly discriminated against minorities. If the applications aren’t reviewed they are basically rejected no? Pull out of the reviews.

🚨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.

Dear fellow scientists, Go talk to the press about what is going on. Talk to local news about how it will impact jobs. Be specific, but don't pity yourself. Instead focus on how your own situation affects local jobs, the national economy, beating the growing scientific race with China. Suggestions:
