Aanthropologists are facing unprecedented obstacles. Join Danilyn Rutherford, the President of Wenner-Gren, along with Foundation Anthropologists Dr. Brendane Tynes and Michael Muse, for a discussion of how Wenner-Gren is responding. wennergren.org/workshop/pro...

We are six months into the second Trump administration and the scale and severity of its assault on our nation's science and democracy has been unrelenting. Today, @ucs.org releases a detailed assessment of the damage so far and where we go from here: www.ucs.org/resources/sc... #ProtectScience

🧪 the new proposed budget cuts to NSF - and other federally-funded orgs including NIH, NASA, NOAA, USGS - show that the future of scientific research #WithoutNSF in the US is in peril it is more important than ever to contact your representatives to #SaveNSF

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)

NSF, NASA and NIH budgets per year, inflation adjusted from 2000-2025 along with the proposed cuts. NSF includes research component only. Massive cuts across all sectors, well below support spanning 25 years.

From over 300k to less than 100k. A picture of smaller, reduced science.

Presidential budget is out. Here's NSF. Biggest cut, by amount, is $1 billion, or 66.8%, from MPS (Physics & Math directorate). nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/00-NSF...

75 years after its founding, NSF is now in peril - #WithoutNSF, we might not have the knowledge, innovations, and societal benefits we do today, just a few of which are listed in this thread #SaveNSF so that US & international scientists working in the US can continue this important work

Every human body, and life, is a blend of biological and cultural processes and nowhere is that more evident than sex biology and the human experience. That blend is what “Sex is a Spectrum: the biological limits of the binary” @princetonupress.bsky.social is ultimately about.

research by biological anthropologists has demonstrated that race is not supported as a biological reality; instead, race is socially constructed we support and affirm the @bioanth.org Statement on Race & Racism (@anthrofuentes.bsky.social et al., 2019), which is freely accessible 🧪

🚨 AIMBE is calling on the biomedical research community to take a minute to send our 3 new advocacy letters urging Congress to: 1. Protect the STEM Training Pipeline (e.g., NIH MOSAIC, T32s, MARC, etc.) 2. Oppose Indirect Cost Caps 3. Support Research Funding in FY2026 aimbe.org/advocate/wri...

Nature reports that the National Science Foundation has stopped awarding new grants and allotting funds to existing ones. All of them. @colincarlson.bsky.social says that unless the freeze is lifted, it “is going to destroy people's labs.” 2/10 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

NEW: Starting May 5, NSF will implement an across-the-board 15% indirect cost rate (mirroring policies at DOE, NIH) Also, NSF staff expect 341 additional terminations today, bringing the total number of terminations to ~1,380.

Effective May 5, 2025, NSF will apply a standard indirect cost rate not to exceed 15% to all
grants and cooperative agreements awarded to IHEs for which indirect costs are allowable.1 The
awardee is authorized to determine the appropriate rate up to this limit.
