At #ICA26, I mentioned in a panel on (late stage) ECRs that the more we share and build solidarity, the stronger we are as a community. In that spirit, I've shared job market materials from myself and others (w/ consent). I'm doing so again in case it is helpful: drive.google.com/drive/folder...

So your research area has been politicized and your federal funding cancelled, what now? I try to give some answers in this opinion piece for @nature.com 1/ www.nature.com/articles/d41...

When the government cancels your research grant, here’s what you can do

The mass cancellation of US federal grants marks yet another escalation in political interference in science, but there are ways to keep crucial research going.
