Chicago scientist to launch a ‘transquake’ to counter anti-trans misinformation Chicago scientist Jey McCreight is marking DNA Day on April 25 by testing a simple, provocative question: What happens if trans people become “too powerful” all at once? It’s not a serious hypothesis. But the…

Long before flowers dazzled pollinators with brilliant colors and sweet scents, ancient plants used another feature to signal insects: heat. The findings in Science offer insights into what shaped the earliest eras of plant-animal coevolution. Read more in this week's issue: https://scim.ag/4rVtArQ

Drawing your attention to an effort to convince NSF to re-open this year's GRFP competition to second year PhD students. Please consider signing or sharing the petition asking NSF to broaden the application eligibility to what it has been previously. laurenkuehne.github.io/grfpChanges/

New today: We're petitioning NSF to revert GRFP eligibility criteria to last year's terms, to avoid pulling the rug out from under the earliest of early-career scientists who had every reason to think they'd be able to apply this year. Sign and spread the word! laurenkuehne.github.io/grfpChanges/

I am currently teaching a GRFP writing course. Today’s solicitation is a real blow. Especially after weeks of uncertainty for these poor students. Now only ONE student in my entire class can apply. They’ve all been working so hard, had been planning on this application for over a year now. 💔

NSF today released instructions for the next round of applicants to its Graduate Research Fellowship Program. A key group—second-year Ph.D. students—is no longer eligible, and students who are still able to apply will face an unusually narrow timeframe. https://scim.ag/3KlQkQk

An open letter in support of the GRFP, which still has not opened the submission portal or provided a solicitation. jasonjwilliamsny.github.io/grfp2025/
