MIT prez wrote: it "would restrict freedom of expression and our independence as an institution" and "is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone." orgchart.mit.edu/letters/rega...

Cuts to #nsf and #nih for basic research hurts the U.S Economy and our ability to innovate

We are used to hearing about destruction of the American research enterprise. This article breaks it down well. NSF Funding decreases are virtually in every area of science. This was in Project 2025. Undergrad ed- 70% cut. Grad ed- none awarded 🧪Biology- 50% cut www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

When I wanted to get postdoc training in plant science, I wrote and was awarded an NSF Plant Biology fellowship to work with my chosen mentor. That enabled me to have a productive career, make novel discoveries, get a patent and contribute to the bioeconomy. #WithoutNSF

#nsf grim news, a real setback for science and education. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Researchers in the US are seeking career opportunities abroad as President Donald Trump’s administration slashes science funding and workforce numbers, finds an analysis of Nature’s jobs-board data. #Academicsky 🧪
