Academic friends, if your NSF grants have been terminated by the administration, FABBS is hosting a webinar Friday about appealing the decisions. It's important that as many people appeal as possible to show we're not accepting this targeting of science. Link to the webinar registration is below.

Besides killing innovation, this action on NSF puts 8 decades of freely available, consistent, rigorous, & widely used time-series evidence about who we are, what we do, what we want, & what we know at risk of never being collected again. The ANES and GSS are at risk. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Exclusive: NSF stops awarding new grants and funding existing ones

US science funder also plans to screen grant applications for compliance with ‘agency priorities’.

Our findings reveal that news media companies have an incentive to produce news headlines containing out-group derogation to maximize engagement, which may, in turn, heighten animosity between groups. This was led by @jesperrasmussen.bsky.social @steverathje.bsky.social @crobertson500.bsky.social

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.
