New story from @dangaristo.bsky.social on the NSF grad fellowship cuts: A key point: “GRFPs are one of the most cost-effective ways for NSF to give out money,” Evans says, because the outcome is a trained, promising young scientist and it’s relatively inexpensive.

Major, (+) news. The NSF GRFP is a primary mechanism by which doctoral students are able to fund their research.

13 years ago today, I presented my first scientific poster. 2 years later, I experienced a mental health crisis. Today, I am still a scientist. My research is on youth mental health. I #standupforscience because we need to do this research, and we especially need to help our most marginalized youth.
