The new NSF BIO funding opportunity (solicitation) is out, which replaces the DEB, IOS, and MCB solicitations. The BIO Core accepts proposals that cover the scientific topics associated with the legacy programs historically supported by BIO. BIO Core - NSF 26-517. www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...

“You cannot schedule the lizard’s gift, and you cannot rush the leukemia campaign.” True words from Jeff Coller. When the next lizard arrives with a gift, though, what we can do is recognize it faster. 🧪 unpaywalled: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/20/o...

Sam was a great colleague. I hope he is enjoying his retirement while still being an advocate for science.

“Between January 2025 and February 2026, STEM and health employees at science-focused agencies saw nearly 15,000 jobs cut. The rate outpaced cuts among other federal workers.” OPM data - Figure from Wash Post article 19 April. (Where US science has been hit hardest.) NSF at -42%!

Washington Post article on STEM cuts at federal agencies. NSF tops it at -42%!

Another day testing the limits of resilience. The Alexandria NSF building was designed for the NSF merit review process (gold standard), complete with a floor devoted to panels. Now we aren’t allowed to have in person panels. The loss of US science leadership will haunt this country for decades.

Had a very short layover in ORD tonight and the gate next to mine included my brother in law! So nice to see him on personal travel in Chicago for 25 minutes.
