This does not mean the research didn't employ sound methods and many other reproducibility practices. Even without public data, the description of data and methods in a paper should be transparent enough to understand and to replicate -- and the findings should not be discredited or ignored.

000

srsupp.bsky.social @srsupp.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

In short, reproducibility is partly about data sharing, but it is also *much* more. While it is true that there are good reasons data cannot always be fully released to the public -- confidential patient health information, or individual locations of species threatened by illegal poaching.

Federal funding is about so much more than money to do research. It motivates me to think deeply about how my research moves beyond sating my scientific curiosity, and how it can concretely benefit students, my local community, and the taxpaying public. Public service is motivating and fulfilling.

011

srsupp.bsky.social @srsupp.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

There are private foundations and industry avenues to fund research, but these are not going to fill the gap or be able to step in to replace lost government stability and support for scientific progress.

110

srsupp.bsky.social @srsupp.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

Applying for these grants is time consuming and challenging. Funding rates are low, but the stability and trust in government support for science has been a foundation for my career, and many others. It feels disorienting to find unstable footing and worry about the risk of broken contracts.

srsupp.bsky.social @srsupp.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

My current role as an ecological researcher & tenured data analytics prof has also been supported by multiple NSF grants. These have been SO impactful, not just to me, but to the students & trainees to whom they have provided funding + scientific opportunities that otherwise would not have existed.

srsupp.bsky.social @srsupp.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

I attended graduate school supported as a research assistant on multiple NSF grants held by my grad school advisors, and later was able to continue pursuing research as a NSF-funded postdoc, when I otherwise might have given up to pursue a more steady income and a place to settle down to live.

I didn't grow up with a lot of money. I didn't know anyone who was a scientist. I relied on federal pell grants, federal loans, and my own jobs to pay my way through college. Some scholarships supported me as a low-income student, some as a woman in science, and others for good grades.
