👇 an interesting thread on this study, led by @jameststroud.bsky.social and emerged after long discussions about the limits of morphological performance in lizards with @jblosos.bsky.social. A beautiful example of how natural history observations generate relevant debates in evolutionary biology.

NSF grant terminations are disproportionately affecting underrepresented scientists. 58% of canceled grants have women PIs, despite making up only 34% of awards. 17% of canceled grants have Black PIs (versus 4% of the pool). Hispanic and disabled PIs are twice as likely to have NSF grants canceled.
