Are you teaching for the first time? Running your first grant? Just became Chair? In charge of a new thing of any kind? Don’t downplay your structural power over others. Be sincere and humble about your authority, because your students/mentees/employees take your power over them seriously.

When young scientists see programs disappearing, funding in flux, and no clear path forward, many will walk away from STEM entirely—not because they lack passion or talent, but because the system is failing them.

Action fatigue is real, but so is our power to create change. We built Action Lab to make it easier to find, track, and contribute action items that move science and policy forward in the midst of the news firehose. Try it out now, and stay tuned for a bigger launch! airtable.com/app3mMFCCzpp...

This is a five-alarm fire 🔥 for US science 🧪. (We keep saying that, but it keeps being true 😭.) Trump and Musk are blocking *ALL* NIH grants ‼️ by "exploiting a loophole in the process"—stopping study sections & council meetings. Every biomedical researcher in the country should be screaming. 1/

This is an attack on US science. NSF staff provide critical support for scientific infrastructure and global excellence. These are valuable dedicated public servants. Please contact your reps, write letters, make noise! Are there any plans for rallies at NSF headquarters? Journalists: COVER THIS!

NEW: NSF confirmed that they fired 168 employees today, out of their staff of ~1,500 feds. This includes some people who'd finished their 1-year probationary periods, which were extended to 2-years last month without explanation. More to come.

Is your NSF grant on this list? Reach out if so! Ted Cruz released a list of grants flagged for DEI or "neo-Marxist class warfare propaganda" from his Oct. report. NSF is using keywords from that report for their review, though Cruz's list is likely larger. www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/2/cruz-...

Since I have way more non-academic followers than I ever would have imagined: a short explainer. TL;DR: Substantially cutting indirect costs will either mean raising tuition and fees, or laying off a bunch of mid- and low-salary staff and students.
