“We will get through this.” Will all due respect, many of us will not.
Trump is closing all four climate observatory stations in Alaska, Hawaii, American Samoa, and Antartica. Because you can't have high CO2 levels if you don't *measure* CO2 levels.

This budget is so bad for...everything that I can't actually even comprehend it. So I'm not going to try today. Here's a Kruger sunrise and baby hyenas instead.

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency.
The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?
Watch with sound on 😂

So, I emailed the link:
www.standupforscience.net/bethesda-dec...
to my kids, some of my former graduate students and post-docs, and a few other friends. All in all, I shared the link with about 30 people.
I asked them to consider signing and to share the link with their own networks.

This is a rupture, there will be a before and an after. There is no reason to believe the after will resemble the before, at all. This is a demarcation in the lives of thousands of researchers and tens of thousands of educators.
The way people are talking about the current demolition of research funding and HE legitimacy reminds me of the early days of COVID when I (and others) said it would be at least six years before any normalcy. Rage, despondency, rejection…eventually voting for a dictator just to feel alive.
Very smart, high ROI initiative from the Spencer Foundation.
Providing bridge funding for canceled NSF grants:
1) directs funds to projects already screened by a top-noch review process.
2) avoids imposing proposal prep costs on researchers.
3) ameliorates the disruption from GOP sabotage.

Call your Members of Congress to demand they protect the NIH & NSF budgets (proposed to be cut 40% & 60% which will devastate the future of science in this country). 5calls.org makes it easy with a script and phone # lookup for your MOCs: 5calls.org/issue/nih-ns...
Keep calling as often as you can
One of the reasons I love this piece is that, in clearly showing why the administration’s attacks on medical research funding are so devastating, it also makes one of the clearest cases for why that funding has always mattered. unbreaking.org/issues/medic...
NY Times's James Glanz reports on how scientists in the rest of the world see the US's decision to destroy our scientific research and training enterprise.

Apparently states’ rights stop the moment women board a plane with autonomy in their carry-on.
screenshot from the NSF budget request to congress showing that the number of people involved in NSF activities will drop from 330,100 to 90,000.
The bottom line with the proposed cuts to NSF is to cut the number of working scientists and disappear opportunities to train new scientists.
This is a PROPOSED budget to Congress. Call your reps.
This makes me physically ill.
BIO getting absolutely killed
