Educate your students! I did this last week & will continue Tuesday, explaining the role of "indirect costs" in scientific research & in all that happens at a University like UNC. FASEB's data on state-by-state impact is a great resource www.faseb.org/science-poli...

“Since 1980, Congress has mandated that the agency seek to broaden participation of underrepresented groups […] The NSF spokesperson did not respond to a query about concerns that Trump’s executive orders are at odds with the agency’s responsibilities, as codified in law.”
NSF has unfrozen funds but is continuing to scour research grants for violations of Trump’s orders

Nature spoke to six NSF staff members, who shared documents detailing plans to search 10,000 flagged grants for DEI language.

My paper, along with my former postdoc advisor, Prof. Qiang Cui, was published last month in the Journal of Chemical Physics as a Cover Article and Editor's Pick.

Here, we developed an empirical map for use in #moleculardynamics for the TIP3P water model.
