Two points: 1. There are 101 mentions to 2 CFR 200 (i.e. relating to the new OMB rule) in this NSF proposed rule change 2. The 15% de minimis indirect cost rate is for institutions without negotiated rates. It is _not_ the same as the 15% cap for unis with a negotiated rate.

Two major earthquakes struck in central Venezuela on Wednesday, according to the USGS. Residents said that the temblors felt especially strong, shaking buildings and knocking out electricity in parts of the country, including the capital, Caracas.

Magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 doublet separated by just seconds on the Venezuela coast. Depth 10 km. Yikes. That's going to be bad. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

Yes to this quote from the OP "Curiosity-driven research is really the seed corn for the major breakthroughs and applications. But it’s also important in its own right, because discovery and the expansion of knowledge are virtues in themselves." Dr. Shubin

This is an excellent thread, possibly even more helpful than the original article in Nature. I'm genuinely happy to see the directorates have their budgets and unsurprised that NSF continues to "comply in advance"

Don't blame the program directors for this heartbreaking lack of efficiency. It goes straight to leaders at the OD level, DOGE meddling, and, really, the OMB.

Geophysicists say there is an increased risks of destructive floods and wild fires due to climate change. A guy who thinks he was teleported to a Waffle House says there's nothing to worry about. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.
