My ongoing request: If your NSF or NIH grant was terminated--whether at Harvard or elsewhere--please report it here. NSF:
grant-watch.us/submit-nsf.h...
NIH:
grant-watch.us/submit-nih.h...
Our trackers are actively used in lawsuits and are often the only record that terminations ever occurred.

For folks who don’t know, ethnic studies programs like African American/Africana Studies, Asian American Studies, Chicano Studies and the like come directly from civil right era campus activism. Attempts to disempower such programs should be framed as attacks on civil rights same as much else rn.

My (likely) final first author paper was published today. I miss research but 4 months out of the academic track, I don’t miss the lifestyle needed to sustain a career in it. Scientists work so hard to push human knowledge and the concerted attack on these efforts will harm us all.

Here are the three goals of the March 7th
#standupforscience
as information is altered & removed, funding changed in ways that penalize scientists, & needed expansion in participation replaced with opportunities for less.

Scream it from the rooftops. Just because someone’s not interested in science doesn’t mean it hasn’t made their life better. Let’s all be better science communicators

I know these are challenging times — and the Trump administration is trying to confuse the American people. That’s why it’s so important we speak plainly: Donald Trump is incompetent.

It is simply not enough for universities to say, “Our grants & research offices are looking into how research will be affected by the latest directive.” University leaders must actively and very publicly make the case for the kind of work many of us do. The silence on this front is deafening.

My new boss has done research on post Soviet countries as well as worked for years in Central Asia. I’m thankful for her perspective when I start to spiral. Breathe and reach out to your network

Was just told, "nobody goes into academia to get rich." Which sure, but why is wanting to own a place to live considered being rich? I ain't out here trying to rough it my whole life
