The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

But more needs to be done, as it is still above the agreed threshold value.

Yesterday Tr*mp froze all NSF funds, today he announced a 56% budget cut. This is going to devastate science in the US. I've spent the morning calling my reps to raise hell and applying for jobs as it's clear I can't sustain my freelance scicomm business on NSF funding anymore (1/n) #scicomm #nsf 🧪

'Dandelions,' was painted by the Danish artist Bertha Wegmann around 1910. It wasn't an arbitrary choice of a plant to paint: the dandelion was used to promote the women’s liberation movement in Scandinavia because of its capacity for uncontrolled, strong-willed growth.

Biggest self-own ever to go from that to whatever this is today.
The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Sibylle (@AHaschi

The infographic includes the following statistics: "JOBS: 16.6 MILLION jobs created," "UNEMPLOYMENT: 14.1% in January 2021 decreased to 4.1% in December 2024," "S&P 500: 5,996 on January 17, 2025, was 3,786 on January 15, 2021," and "DOW JONES: 43,487 on January 17, 2025, was 30,814 on January 15, 2021."

Science friends! Many of you, alarmed by grant funding cuts that make expensive field ecology research difficult or impossible, have been thinking about what to do instead. Great idea. Some of you have been saying "I'll just do some social science surveys," without learning how. Bad idea! 🧵🧪
