For #NSF and #NIH watchers, Grant Witness now has interactive data on numbers of grants and total funding obligations, broken down by institute and directorate, new awards and non-competitive renewals.

"Senator Tuberville is the latest in a long line of American politicians who see bombs as a way of shortening Muslim women’s hemlines." This piece by Meher Ahmad is really excellent--lots of nuance that's missing from most stories on this topic. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/o...

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.
