As our Executive team @drkariljordan.bsky.social @erinstellabecker.bsky.social states, our decision to withdraw was grounded in our commitment to The Carpentries' core values, which explicitly promote diversity, equity and inclusion in programming. "[DEI programming is] baked into everything we do.”

The Carpentries is again in the news, this time in @science.org. Our decision to withdraw from the National Science Foundation's POSE grant funding is discussed in this article criticising how Trump directives are undermining the NSF's 75-year history of independence: www.science.org/content/arti...
