Excellent summary of the cuts to grant funding that the PPAN community is now facing at the @ioppublishing.bsky.social APP and HEPP meeting, and how we should respond to it as a community. 🧪🔭

Our success as a country depends on standing up for US science. The drastic cuts have already hurt out economy and crippled the careers of the young scientists we need to make progress.

Fundamental research in particle, astronomy & nuclear physics doesn’t just produce knowledge — it produces people🧪🔭

Highly trained scientists who go on to power UK industry.

Cutting funding means fewer of them.

PPAN research doesn’t just produce papers — it trains the people powering UK industry.

From astrophysics → biotech, AI, data science. 🧪🔭

Cutting this pipeline has consequences.

Russell Vought is OMB Director. OMB decides how appropriated funds reach agencies. Congress set NIH at ~$47.2B for FY2026. His office has faced criticism for delays/restrictions in release. New awards and success rates have dropped. #NIH #ScienceFunding

“PPAN trained scientists have enabled us to create industry leading AI technology.” 🧪🔭🤖

— Dr David Evans, Head of Data Engineering @FreeAgent

Developments in #UKRI funding are being watched “with alarm.”

#PPAN #AI #ScienceFunding

Postdoctoral support in UK theoretical particle physics has dropped from 58.33 to 19.5 PDRA years per year — a ~67% reduction. 🧪🔭

These positions are central to research, training, and the skills pipeline into industry.

The impact will extend well beyond academia.

Shows a COSSA conference badge with attached flair stickers designating state affiliation and that I “play well with others” and am an “official smarty pants” (as well as a first time attendee of social science advocacy day).

Tomorrow I will be meeting the whole day with Congress people from Louisiana and Texas (I am half-Texan) to discuss the importance of social #sciencefunding on behalf of COSSA & @spspnews.bsky.social Wish me luck!

Science funding needs fixing — but not through chaotic reforms The changes announced by a major UK science funder are putting scientists — and the future of research — in a difficult position.

Reforms of #ScienceFunding in the UK aim to “do fewer things better”.

Clearer priorities could strengthen impact, but uncertain timelines and budget shifts may slow #research momentum, especially for early-career scientists.
