I don’t think everyone realizes how bad things are for US science: For the fiscal year that just ended, the Trump regime withheld $1.4 billion from the National Science Foundation’s research budget, which is about 1/5 of its primary research budget.

National Science Foundation Diverted $1.4 Billion in Science Funds Mandated by Congress (Gift Article)

The move, affecting about one-fifth of the National Science Foundation’s primary research budget, is the latest sign of how the White House is asserting more control over grants.

I've talked to a few journal editors who are concerned about similar problems re: anonymous reviewers. If a peer reviewer wants a little help & feeds your unpublished submission into an AI system, they've just shared your proprietary work & broken confidentiality. A nightmare to think about

I want to write about what life is like right now for millions of people in #Kyiv, living under constant air-raid sirens, Russian attacks, and threats. The alerts have been going on for more than a month without a break. The danger is constant. There are explosions every day, with no real respite.⤵️

Trump dismantled U.S. climate policy. But his war is cutting emissions.

While the president remains a climate-change denier, the war with Iran has triggered an unforeseen benefit in the fight against global warming.
