kenrodbodine.bsky.social @kenrodbodine.bsky.social · 20/08/2026A few weeks ago Kratsios told the Science committee he didn’t know where the claw back went, to ask NSF about it! Guarantee you he was lying through his teeth 000 0
kenrodbodine.bsky.social @kenrodbodine.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Sure. I’m seeing this discussed on social media and many do not understand what it really is: existing programs and significantly less money. The advertising is doublespeak 121 0
kenrodbodine.bsky.social @kenrodbodine.bsky.social · 18/08/2026NO! These NOFOs simply replace solicitations for existing programs. They may reflect recent reorganizations and program name changes but that's it. The $1.5 billion is NOT new money and in fact is a reduction from prior FYs. The $ for my section is decreased by ca. 15% in this NOFO. 121 0
kenrodbodine.bsky.social @kenrodbodine.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Advertising this as "ushering in golden age of US science", "new programs", supported by "$1.5 billion (!!)" is a prime example of doublespeak, enshittification, or both wrapped together. 011 0
kenrodbodine.bsky.social @kenrodbodine.bsky.social · 17/08/2026These are just new solicitations (now called NOFOs) for existing programs. At lower funding than in prior years. 161 0
