"Scientists and advocacy groups have been pleading with Congress to protect funding. The campaign appears to be working: under the Senate committee’s bill, the NSF budget would drop by only 0.67%, rather than by 57% as Trump requested, & many NASA missions would continue rather than being shut down"

Every scientist should discuss the consequences of the NIH and NSF grant terminations and delays and failure to fund at their home institution at the end of a talk or seminar. Even if a scientist’s own funding is not threatened, I GUARANTEE there is someone at their institution affected.

No NIH training grants have been funded since February Other training grants focused on broadening participation in science have been terminated Some institutions’ *awarded* grants are not being reimbursed The current administration is proposing drastic cuts in the 2026 NIH and NSF budgets

Late this post, but love this line about digital democracy work: "The key challenge is not just broadening participation but ensuring that institutions process, filter, and act on citizen input in ways that uphold democratic equality." rebootdemocracy.ai/blog/Who-Par...
