Friendly reminder: if you are waiting on something from a US-based scientist/reviewer/editor, please realize that we're barely making it through each day putting out non-stop fires and trying not to collapse into tears. We're trying our best, but things will take longer right now. Give grace.

I'm hearing about NSF funding opportunities being archived. Which funding opportunities have you seen taken down and how is that impacting you? DMs open or reach me on Signal (kvasquez.12)

We signed international data sharing agreements. Numerical weather prediction requires global data. We won't know what's coming unless upstream neighbors share their weather measurement data community.wmo.int/en/activity-...

A lot has transpired at the NSF since last Tuesday. Here's a rundown of what's happened (so far) and how the whiplash is impacting scientists: cen.acs.org/policy/resea... #ChemSky @cenmag.bsky.social

The constantly changing landscape of federal funding is causing so many problems. This article very clearly highlights the problem and the stress for @chemj.bsky.social and other NSF postdocs

This week has been a doozy, so I'll jump in and thank my advisor @chemdelphine.bsky.social and my colleagues for hearing me out and helping me up. Accountability all the way!

In case anyone's wondering what it's like to be an #NSF postdoc today. Like most people, we need to pay for rent, insurance, and groceries. Many of us also have student loans, phone bills, and car payments. At this point, we don't know when we will get our paychecks.

This week, my science pen-pal opened my letter answering her questions- how much do I get paid, how did I get funded (#NSF), what it looks like to be a scientist. I didn't think that three weeks after writing my response, those answers may no longer be valid. [Sketch of a scientist in the field]
