As a former research administrator, this is yet another shocking consequence of stripping away federal investment in sound science. NSF no longer has the capacity to investigate research misconduct in the projects it funds. So much for “gold standard” science.

Good morning! I hear a lot about fear of speaking out and standing up for science. A friendly reminder that I haven’t experienced a SINGLE blip of retaliation & science whistleblowers at 2 of 3 agencies who were retaliated against have been reinstated. Do NOT obey in advance. GET LOUD!
