HAPPY 75th, NSF! We’re celebrating this milestone by highlighting some of NSF’s most transformative accomplishments—innovations that have shaped our world and continue to drive progress in health, technology, the environment, and beyond. Read on 🧵(1/11):
A chocolate cake with red and white decorations and lit candles shaped as the number 75. Bold text reads: ‘The NSF Turns 75 Today. What has it done over the past 7 decades?’ The background is a celebratory red with a spray-paint texture.

Pause for a minute to appreciate the valiant Program Officers still at NSF, who are doing their utmost to preserve what they can. They’re in the stinking rotting belly of the beast, laboring on our behalf. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ to them

Who bears the brunt of these cuts? Well, here's a word cloud of the most frequent terms from the titles and abstracts of terminated grants, with word size proportional to frequency:
A word cloud, with words of different sizes, and different colors, with purple for the largest, red medium, and green small. "Black" stands out prominently in purple. In red, we see "climate", "student", "network", "justice", "identity", "teacher", and "undergraduate".

He's publicly extorting billionaires live on tv and they are thanking him and bowing. This tv show is sad. We, in the real world admire empathy, decency, and the rule of law.

Critically, Republicans have terminated ~800 NIH grants over 8 weeks. But that's only half the story. *Republicans have also cancelled nearly 1,000 NSF grants in 8 *days*. The work continues. Report your terminated NSF grant here: airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni...

I will never forget: how can we get a collective action group that commits to never forgetting the stress, hurt and impact of the last three months? Not sure how long all these people will try to illegally try to steal our rights and liberties:

🚨Report your NSF grant terminations! 🚨 We are starting to collect information on NSF grant terminations to create a shared resource as we have for NIH. The more information we collect, the more we can organize, advocate, and fight back! Please share widely! airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni...
NSF Grant Termination Information Collection Form

Please use this form to submit information identifying specific NSF grants that have been cancelled for any reason after January 20, 2025.


We are tracking these grants to increase transparency, organize affected PIs, and facilitate responses, including via litigation. Please share the form as widely as possible with your networks. 


We are actively building a pipeline to organize these terminations and will soon have a tracker akin to our NIH grant tracker at https://airtable.com/appjhyo9NTvJLocRy/shrNto1NNp9eJlgpA


WE WILL NOT DISCLOSE THE IDENTITY OF ANYONE WHO USES THIS FORM TO PROVIDE INFORMATION. We will keep your identity confidential.


These resources are maintained by Noam Ross of rOpenSci and Scott Delaney of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, with input and support from additional volunteers. For any questions, please contact Scott Delaney on Signal (sdelaney.84).


THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE!

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

We spent too long pandering to the center trying to find a balance. Truth is there was never a balance there. We should have stood more strongly on the far left, far far left to even inch forward a sense of « balance »

Dear bsky: Would you consider adding an "Acknowledge the importance of this post", or "angry" emoji on this platform? I am starting to skip my reactions as it feels strange to "heart" this much nonsense and hardship on a daily basis.

I’ve never been on « X ». Joined here as a way to get away from FB and all the bots and friends of friends who « did their research ». Thus far so pleased. Are annoying bots and trolls simply not here yet or is this heaven?
