The National Science Foundation is awarding new grants at the slowest pace in at least 35 years. The funding decreases touch virtually every area of science — extending far beyond the diversity programs that the Trump administration says it wants to cut.

Trump Has Cut Science Funding to Its Lowest Level in Decades
The lag in funding extends far beyond D.E.I. initiatives, affecting almost every area of science: chemistry, computing, engineering, materials and more.

So let me get this straight. Hundreds or maybe thousands of international Jewish students are being kicked out of Harvard to protect the Jewish community from Harvard’s antisemitic policies? My heart goes out to all the students affected. Even the uncertainty alone is brutal.

OH " I said that I would only leave my job in one of threeways: 1) I get fired, a very real possibility; 2) I’m on a collision course with burnout, because I’mnot helpful to anyone if I burn out; 3) I feel that I’m crossing personal moral lines. It turned out to be #3 "

This is incredibly cool: if you search for a condition that’s affected your family, the site returns stats on how much NIH has done for that disease, *and* a contact form for reaching out to tell your Members of Congress why you want to see them defend NIH. Pass it on!

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992. Was there a breast cancer epidemic?! NO. Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976. PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something. This is also about autism.

This is disgraceful. Though it may not have stopped the crash, Trump is distracting us from the fact that he did not appoint a new FAA Administrator until today. The former FAA Administrator was pressured to step down when Trump took office because Musk didn't want him to keep going after SpaceX.
