I am where I am because of my unbelievable REU experiences. This is true for so many people. We are trying to scrounge up funding to continue the REU at Harvard in any way possible, but this is all so horrible. These programs change the lives of young scientists

NSF froze payments to researchers. State AGs said it was unconstitutional for exec branch to pause congressionally mandated funds. Judge issued restraining order. Payments resumed. But some inconsistencies in what the NSF has said (thread): www.statnews.com/2025/02/02/n...

National Science Foundation restores payments after five-day pause, but worries over science funding persist

The NSF said on Sunday that its payment system was back on line, after it froze out researchers and sparked financial worries.

Well, big news. I am planning to move the Space Library to a new home. And I need some help - in 35 years I've never asked for funding, donations or subscriptions for my Space Report, to keep it independent, but now I need to raise some additional funds. www.gofundme.com/f/fund-jonat...
