this termination of congressionally authorized funding is illegal. I certainly will be exercising my right to appeal (despite the email claiming final decision), and look forward to the outcome of ongoing court cases. www.aaup.org/sites/defaul... (5/n)

"Research on misinformation is not “censorship” but cancelling it is. Such grants were peer-reviewed by scientific experts...& awarded through previous Congressional appropriation. Cancelling them violates NSF’s duty to honor contracts & ethically manage the funds appropriated by the US Congress."
Thanks to @donmoyn.bsky.social for the platform to share my NSF experience & some thoughts on the recent cuts to misinformation research. Publicly funded research & accurate information is vital to our democracy. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/i-oversaw-...
I oversaw rigorous review of NSF-funded research on misinformation: Now the Trump administration is cancelling it
Politicians, not scientists, are the ones engaged in censorship

Many in biotech/private sector are boasting about their ways of funding and doing science
But they are staffed with PhDs and postdocs we train in our NIH and NSF funded labs in universities
With university labs lacking funds to train, the private sector will be profoundly harmed
