The Inspector General for NSF must launch an investigation into the Trump administration’s alleged attempt to sell-off parts of NCAR — immediately! 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

National Science Foundation staff have sent a letter pleading with House Science ranking member @lofgren.house.gov to save the NSF. They are sufficiently scared of illegal retribution that they have done so anonymously democrats-science.house.gov/imo/media/do...

We continue to stand with our #NSF #AFGE3403 colleagues. At #NEH, we understand the fear of retaliation all too well, as over two-thirds of us were terminated - but we also know that the #humanities and the #sciences are stronger and better when we stand together. #SaveNSF @savensf.bsky.social

NSF staff say over 1,600 research grants, including climate, DEI, and public health projects, were canceled under Trump. Peer review has been replaced by partisan screening, with decisions now made by DOGE.

If you would like to stand with us to #SaveNSF, either as an organization/institution or an individual, please fill out the form to the right. We would love to list you as an official partner of www.savensf.com/become-a-par...

It’s our mission to shed light on the National Science Foundation’s impact on American innovation and leadership. We are fighting to protect funding for scientific research that could change the world. Share your experience with the NSF and share this post. #saveNSF www.savensf.com

This year the National Science Foundation is celebrating 75 years! In 1950, President Harry S. Truman signed the creation of the National Science Foundation into law. To continue NSF's mission, we must act now to Save NSF. Visit our toolkit to get involved. www.savensf.com/take-action

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

Correction: This suit applies to the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) terminations. (I am too used to typing NIH)

US judge blocks slashing of universities' federal funding from National Science Foundation reut.rs/3FPT1b4

There seems to be some amount of confusion about the sourcing here, so for clarity: I am a journalist; I was provided this information by multiple NSF staff. I am reporting it because it is credible and important. Separately, I have contacted NSF/GSA/HUD. I will provide updates when I have them.

Some of his requests, per NSF staff: - Dedicated suite for him in the 19th floor - constructing an Executive Dining Room - reserved parking space for his 5 cars - exclusive use of 1 elevator for the Secretary - hosting the Secretary’s executive assistants in the 18th floor.

Oddly, staff say that neither NSF management nor OSTP have been involved, and the decision was instead driven by the HUD Secretary, Scott Turner, who will be imminently taking over the 18th & 19th floors of the (soon-to-be-former?) NSF building.

NEW: NSF will be kicked out of their building. Announcement will be made tomorrow by HUD Sec. and Governor of VA. HUD will take over the NSF building over the next two years. NSF staffer: "There is no planning for NSF, no identified future location, appropriation for a new building or a move."

What.

11 of 12 Fulbright board members resign in protest over Trump-era meddling. Hundreds of awardees canceled; 1,200 foreign scholars face extra review. A pillar of U.S. academic diplomacy is under threat. zurl.co/o2mgg #StandUpForScience #Fulbright

I signed the #BethesdaDeclaration for my kids. I want a better future for them, and for all of the children in our country. Please, join me! act.standupforscience.net/forms/add-na...

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

Harvard filed a suit within 24 hours after the Noem visa-stripping. The judge issued a temporary restraining order less than 2 hrs later. The legal system CAN work quickly if the plaintiffs are prepared— know the judges and their courtroom rules, have strategy set and filings ready.

For those having a hard time following all the changes to NSF by the Trump administration, here's a wrapup of the past week's momentous events--and what they mean for the agency. www.science.org/content/arti...

🚨 Action alert: Two days left!! Help protect NSF/NIH from political interference. 👎 A new rule (Sched. F) would allow for replacing career program officers with political appointees. ➡️ Action: Object here by THIS FRIDAY. Comments can be brief and/or anonymous. Helps future litigation.

Just a few weeks ago people were pitching Cory Booker as a front runner for the 2028 Dem presidential nomination. Tonight he was the only Senate Dem to vote to confirm Jared Kushner’s convict dad as ambassador to France. Sheesh.

It also threatened the independence of more than 232,000 other 501(c)(3) non-profits across the country, and undermined American diplomacy. This decision restores the rule of law and protects the Institute’s ability to fulfill its mission. 5/

HUGE: In federal court today, Judge Howell found that the Trump Administration and DOGE illegally removed USIP Board members, thereby nullifying ensuing actions including: - replacement of Board members with DOGE officials, - USIP staff purge, and - transfer of USIP property to GSA.

We’ve been gearing up for a BIG fight. Tomorrow, it begins—see you then. #standupforscience

Schedule F institutionalizes politicized science, and it could be law soon. Here's where YOU can make a difference: Right now, the Office of Personnel Management is required to take public comments on the proposed rule. That window closes May 23.

Trump’s “Schedule F” proposal (now renamed “Schedule Policy/Career”) would strip job protections from up to 50,000 federal workers—many of them scientists, grant officers, or regulators—by declaring their roles “policy-influencing.” That includes NIH and NSF staff.

🚨 A proposed policy would reclassify career civil servants as political appointees, fundamentally altering how the government, and science, works. TAKE ACTION! You can submit a public comment to stop this by May 23rd ⬇️ www.federalregister.gov/documents/20... What you can do & why it matters: 🧵
