Here are just a few of the NSF review panels that were shut down today, Chuck. This is research that would have made us competitive in computer science that will now be delayed by many months if not lost forever. AI is fine but right now the top priority is keeping the lights on at NSF and NIH.

New paper! 🐒 🧪 We found the Kinda baboons have long-lasting female-male relationships that are largely male-driven and persist across female reproductive states. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Per an NIH source: “Discussions with colleagues have suggested that if the universities all come together and raise hell about the delays to funding caused by not holding meetings, that might move the needle. From every state. There are well-funded universities in red states that will be impacted.”

The National Science Foundation canceled all of its grant review panels this week. www.npr.org/sections/sho... 8/12
