Exclusive: NSF faces radical shake-up as officials abolish its 37 divisions Changes seen as a response to presidential directives on what research to fund

The Trump goal is to end scientific research in America. Our sense is that few people, even inside the government, have actually grappled with this reality.

NIH insiders: Trump is ‘dismantling and destroying everything’ After just 100 days, agency scientists say U.S. health institutes are demoralized and have lost essential staff and funding

“However bad everyone on the outside thinks it is, it is a million times worse. They’re dismantling and destroying everything.”

Read, share, respond. Call your representatives.

The health and well-being of Americans & America's innovation economy are at stake.

This is a great piece on how acting NIH Director Matthew Memoli and his MAGA cronies at HHS are twisting the story on indirect costs. @insidehighered.com www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

Trump Administration Cancels $400 Million in Federal Funds to Columbia University The Trump administration blamed the university’s failure to protect Jewish students from harassment during protests last year over the war in Gaza.

Trump cancels $400 M in grants to Columbia?!

As a Jewish person, I resent Jewish students being used in an excuse to punish Columbia.

The #penguinpicoftheday #PPOTD is a gentoo penguin, screaming at a rock. We can all relate.
