Yesterday was the darkest day of my professional life so far. Many of NSF’s best and brightest people fired indiscriminately. The terms of their firing cruel. My colleagues matter, they are valued and they make a difference. I have no words. www.npr.org/2025/02/18/n...

National Science Foundation fires roughly 10% of its workforce
NSF fired 168 employees, leaving the agency less equipped to fund a wide range of scientific research.

Picture of a tiger salamander on the left and a mudskipper on the right. Both are laying on a yellow/brown platform that is partially submerged in water, so it looks like they are hanging out on a shoreline. Their bodies are angled towards each other, but they are looking at you.
