Calling all Scientists! Research Administrators! Deans! Fans of Science! No one is coming to save us. Here is your assignment. I have written a step by step, easy to understand "how-to" document to help you comment on the proposed OMB rule. elizabethginexi.substack.com/p/what-we-ne...

What We Need to do NEXT: OMB’s Proposed Federal Financial Assistance Rule (OMB 2026-10817)

What OMB’s Proposed Federal Financial Assistance Rule Means in Practice

elizabethginexi.substack.com

New Fed guidelines "deemphasize the role of peer review in determining what work to fund, limit the ability of scientists to use federal funds to publish their research or travel to conferences, & offer political appointees more latitude to terminate grants at will" www.statnews.com/2026/05/29/n...

Trump administration seeks to overhaul federal grantmaking process, alarming researchers

The Trump administration has released a sweeping proposal to overhaul the bedrock regulation for all federal grants.

statnews.com

Trying to submit a comment on the OMB proposed changes and can't navigate labyrinth to where to directly comment on this pile of shit. Where do you actually go to leave a comment? Anyone?

Of all the harm this administration has done to US science, today's proposed changes to the way federal grants are awarded and administered is the most damaging yet. The text of the federal register document is impenetrably tedious by design, so here's an excellent summary of what it says.

Forest entomologists are already depleted. Invasive pests are just getting worst. We need more forest entomologists and tree pathologists, not less! @entsocamerica.bsky.social www.ctpublic.org/news/2026-05...

US Forest Service considers closing 2 invasive insect labs in CT as part of national reorganization

Scientists and advocates worry the closures will delay the agency’s ability to respond to invasive insects in the Northeast and hinder field research in local forests.

New in @science.org ‼️ In the most comprehensive study to date, we show that wildlife trade is driving animal-to-human zoonotic spillover at a planetary scale, with +1 spillover per host every 10 years. Live animal markets and illegal trade pose even greater risks. 🔓 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Wildlife disease data, especially negative data, are one of the last types of data that ecologists just... don't share. We built a place for them to archive it - and now, journals are encouraging people to use it! Big congrats to @danjbecker.bsky.social on this push ❤️

Verena@viralemergence.org · 7mo ago

Exciting news to start 2026: for the first time ever, the PHAROS repository for wildlife disease surveillance is a journal-recommended home for your archived data! Thanks to Integrative and Comparative Biology for taking the leap with us 🦠🔢➡️🌎💻💫 academic.oup.com/icb/pages/Ge...
