So excited and extremely grateful to have been selected for the 74th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting in Chemistry this summer. Extremely thankful to @nationalacademies.org for the nomination and to everyone in my circle for the endless support. I cannot believe that this is my life 🤯 #LINO25

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

good news, I hope

5. Will Fellows (GRFP, et al) receive their February stipend?
Fellows must log into ACM$ and verify their payment request has been accepted. Most Fellows will have to resubmit a request.

To update people on the NSF PRFB situation: despite the court challenge and rescinding the original memo, the NSF has continued to comply with the executive order. They have not communicated with us at all and our paychecks are still canceled indefinitely. I know people who cannot pay their rent.

“If the freeze is not stopped, I might lose my house." Some NSF-funded postdocs are having trouble paying rent and credit card bills because their salaries were paused this week, even though the federal funding freeze memo was rescinded. www.statnews.com/2025/01/30/t...

I want to give an update: Thankfully I work at a university with lots resources, so they assured me I will get my February paycheck. We don’t know what’s going to happen long term with my fellowship, but at least Caltech has come through. But this is all still absolutely bonkers and stressful.

I am an NSF ASCEND fellow and my February paycheck that I scheduled this morning was cancelled, and we don't have access to our accounts with the freeze. Will I get paid or will my fellowship just disappear? lovely.... Not what I expected to be my first post to #chemksy
