Breakthroughs happen when diverse expertise is woven together. Collaboration can be messy—different vocabularies, different tools—but it’s worth it. We made a video with @MinuteEarth about it. 🎥 @fviromics.bsky.social @payeldas.bsky.social & Drew Kramer #EEID

Weaving = Coding !?! For the Apollo Guidance computer that took America to the moon, those two are pretty much the same. Watch our video to see how unusual collaborations led to breakthrough discoveries: youtu.be/prYQlxH6ypA?...

Slashing $23B from NIH & NSF isn't fiscal responsibility—it's a $32B economic loss. Science investments return 140–210%, compounding over time. No single administration can claim the credit, but any can cause the damage. Cuts like this aren’t just shortsighted—they’re bad business. bit.ly/dogefail

NSF is stating that DOGE has the authority to give thumbs up or down to grant applications that experts have systematically vetted. Closed-door deliberations are being observed by DOGE 'consultants', who have accessed the NSF awards system to block the dispersal of approved grants. bit.ly/3Szvv4D

“The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas — hardly a partisan institution — finds that nondefense government R&D yields long-run economic returns of 150% to 300% …“Our findings therefore point to a misallocation of public capital, and substantial underinvestment in nondefense R&D.”

Are there any: 1) legal funds / organizations giving aid/advice to scientists impacted by federal actions lately? 2) charities giving $ aid to recently laid off federal employees? (Curious, not that I currently require either myself)

Upon learning that yesterday would be my last day as a program officer at the National Science Foundation, I shared this parting message with my colleagues. The next few months will be frenetic and stressful for them. Here are some things that you can do to help them with the mission ahead. (1)
