🧪 the new proposed budget cuts to NSF - and other federally-funded orgs including NIH, NASA, NOAA, USGS - show that the future of scientific research #WithoutNSF in the US is in peril

it is more important than ever to contact your representatives to #SaveNSF

‘A big gut punch’: Oregon universities lose millions in federal science funding These grants — totalling more than $6 million in funds awarded but not yet spent — supported scientific research and education.

How me and my colleagues and our students have been impacted by NSF grant terminations. A thread through this article is concern for students, who are really feeling the negative impacts. #withoutNSF #geosky 🧪

🙏❤️🔥✊ This includes at least two NSF projects that I'm part of!

It took our teams *years* to mature our research to the point of obtaining NSF grants. They brought $$ and jobs and innovation to WA and other state economies.

While also --> 🧪, knowledge, sustainability, technology.

16 States Sue Trump Over $1.4 Billion in Science Cuts

Of course it’s really DOGE and Russ Vought that should be sued. They’re the people unilaterally directing the cancellations and policy changes, over the heads of the agency staff.

ECODIVE – Evaluating Conferences for Diverse Engagement

MAGA’s assault on science is an act of grievous self-harm America will pay the price most of all

Multiple articles in this week’s special section on #science in The Economist. The US loses, and the world loses, because of the trump war on science.

#WithoutNSF, there would be no @vrubinobs.bsky.social .

And a lot less of the science it will do, from near-Earth objects to cosmology.

#NSF #GRFP recipients attending @harvard.edu are saying that they have been notified that their grants have been terminated.

Notably, these grants are awarded to the INDIVIDUAL, not the institution.

I've said it before and I'll say it again and again and again: THIS IS DEVASTATING. Unchecked, it will wipe out the field in the US.

Call your senators and representatives. Tell them to fund science and save NSF.

Green Bank has also been able to run its REU program this year and to do necessary maintenance.

Reminder:

#WithoutNSF, there would be no National Radio Astronomy Observatory and no Green Bank Telescope.

Yes -- Urban #SLF are super-sized, and that might help them survive hot city temps🔥.

75 years after its founding, NSF is now in peril - #WithoutNSF, we might not have the knowledge, innovations, and societal benefits we do today, just a few of which are listed in this thread

#SaveNSF so that US & international scientists working in the US can continue this important work

This has been floating around already, but please consider sending how #NSF has impacted your life. This is one of the many ways we can push back and effectuate substantive change.

From Rep Tom Barrett:

"I was proud to join my colleagues in the House to pass 13 bills...including:"

"H.R. 276 to codify President Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America!"

This is not important business.

He is a deeply unserious person.

Happy 75th, NSF‼️ We need for you to live long & prosper 🖖 because #WithoutNSF, essential science education, & therefore future prospects for discovery & prosperity, will be demolished 😡 #StandUp

The NSF Is Being Dismantled — With Broad Implications For The American Economy The economic consequences of cuts to the National Science Foundation and restricting scientific inquiry on this scale could be far-reaching.

#WithoutNSF These researcher communities won't be able to generate insights and develop resources for learners — K-12 students, undergrads, grad students, and beyond — to become future leaders of science and engineering.

And this will threaten the U.S. economy, as driven home by this article:

#WithoutNSF I wouldn't have been able to launch my own post-PhD career, studying topics such as how gender stereotypes vary across STEM fields.

Example study below (my first as a lead NSF PI).

#WithoutNSF The communities of STEM education researchers I'm in would be greatly diminished.

#WithoutNSF I wouldn't have received a GRFP fellowship that allowed me to develop my own research agenda as an emerging independent STEM education researcher.

Here's a example study that this GRFP-enabled flexibility ultimately led to: srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Left to right: Nora Newcombe, myself, Marcia Linn

#WithoutNSF I wouldn't have received grad student research positions to develop computer visualizations to help high schoolers learn chemistry.

Example: d-miller.github.io/assets/McElh...

Or a grad student position to study spatial thinking in STEM learning.
