The new leadership cancelled planned events for NSF’s 75th anniversary and tried to prevent staff from even taking a group photo to celebrate the landmark. These are the faces of the hardworking employees they’ve been treating as disposable.

NSF, we appreciate you even if your own leaders don’t ❤️

This is completely false. Even the largest university endowment cannot sustain large-scale scientific research.

In my 25 years at my school, the most monumental research fund drive raised $325M in *total*. Federal research here costs $200M per *every year*.

This is an extinction-level event.

We are happy to see folks in Congress stepping up, but we need more than sternly worded letters. We need action. The US scientific enterprise is at stake #resist

I'll just take this moment to point out that the US Institute of Peace, just a few weeks ago, contained one of the finest concentrations of US expertise on India and Pakistan, and crisis management in South Asia.

Notice of Changes Notices of changes are formal public announcements of planned services changes to applications and other products.

There's only one reason for Trump's massive deletion and closing of national climate, weather, ocean, & environmental data sets: to silence and turn a blind eye to evidence of major threats in order to protect the fossil-fuel industry. This is modern book burning.

1/7 Black women are at 3X times as likely as white women to die from pregnancy-related causes, and, nationally, Black infants have the highest rates of preterm birth and mortality. Now the fate of Black maternal health programs is at stake amid federal cuts.

New Mexico made childcare free. It lifted 120,000 people above the poverty line The state, which has long ranked worst in the US for child wellbeing, became the first and only in the country to offer free childcare to a majority of families

New Mexico made child care free for most families. Believe it or not, the good thing is good.

I'm looking for guest speakers (paid, awaiting funding) for my Primate Behavior class. I'm hoping to find a couple people who work with primates in different settings (zoo, lab, field). Preference for in-country (field), historically excluded, & student/early career primatologists. Please reach out!

Fellow Anthropologists: does anyone have a good, sophomore-ish-level lecture on race that you’d be willing to share?? Or readings you like to assign on the topic?
