"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants. Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

Another scoop from Jeff Mervis (@policyhound.bsky.social): NSF's ~1400 grant terminations have disproportionately affected PIs from groups underrepresented in science: women, racial & ethnic minorities, & those with disabilities. 1/3 www.science.org/content/arti...

@jchowning.bsky.social led the way on an Op-Ed we authored on what's at stake in WA state and the nation. I bet each one of you can think of a scientific discovery that has benefitted you or someone you love. Science education is at the base of that. www.seattletimes.com/opinion/if-w...

If we gut science, where will the discoveries of the future come from? | Op-Ed

The student in a lab today may one day shape public policy, develop treatments or discover the next lifesaving cure.

🔬 @claudiamcl.bsky.social and I both work to support the next generation of scientists and foster a scientifically aware public. We authored an Op-Ed for the @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social about what’s at stake for science-and science education-right now! www.seattletimes.com/opinion/if-w...

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...

In 1931, Italian scholars were made to take loyalty oaths. Will that happen to us?

It’s incredibly hard to see a national treasure like the NIH descend into the atrocious servitude of stripping out an image of one of their most successful Institute Directors in an effort to please the thinnest skinned President of all time.

Mural at NIH, Bethesda, including an image of Dr Tony Fauci who served as Director of National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases for 38 distinguished years. Same mural at NIH today with Tony Fauci’s image clumsily removed.
