I am looking for code that someone wrote to obtain a frequency count of these words, to share with a colleague. I used it but forgot to save the code… anyone have any idea?
🚨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.

Update: the Department of Justice has ruled that the Temporary Restraining Order issued by the Federal Court applies to all NSF award recipients. This means I was able to request a portion of my funds (about 10%) to cover my costs this month and provide a small safety net.
