A story: During GW Bush admin, I had to pitch a collaborative project to NOAA’s internal climate board. Right before presenting, I was advised not to mention the words “climate change”. The project and the presentation were titled “Climate Change and Coral Reefs”. I ignored the advice...

It's all gone. They've taken down all the CDC datasets from data.cdc.gov Data that's critical for public health & research. Data paid for by citizens. That the government now censors. "Do not fear those who tell the truth. Fear those who try to hide it. They are willing to sacrifice other things."

Yesterday I was asked to resign from the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board. I tendered my resignation with this note. Nobody will read it, most likely, but it’s the writing of it that mattered to me.

Per an NIH source: “Discussions with colleagues have suggested that if the universities all come together and raise hell about the delays to funding caused by not holding meetings, that might move the needle. From every state. There are well-funded universities in red states that will be impacted.”

The National Science Foundation cancelled over 60 grant review panels today, effectively grinding funding of new projects to a halt. The so-far indefinite pause comes as NSF grapples with the impact Trump's executive orders will have on their grantmaking process. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

National Science Foundation freezes grant review in response to Trump executive orders

The National Science Foundation has cancelled all grant review panels this week. It's unclear how long the pause could last.

Separately, if you've been impacted by the removal of any DEI grant programs (at NSF or any other federal agency), I'm also working on another story about that.

Oh geez, BRC-BIO was SUCH a good program! It was essentially giving start-up grant funds to faculty at smaller schools with lower start-ups so those faculty would be competitive for later grant cycles. Also the science being funded was just as good as any I've seen
