"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants.
Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

Another scoop from Jeff Mervis (@policyhound.bsky.social): NSF's ~1400 grant terminations have disproportionately affected PIs from groups underrepresented in science: women, racial & ethnic minorities, & those with disabilities. 1/3

@jchowning.bsky.social led the way on an Op-Ed we authored on what's at stake in WA state and the nation. I bet each one of you can think of a scientific discovery that has benefitted you or someone you love. Science education is at the base of that. www.seattletimes.com/opinion/if-w...
If we gut science, where will the discoveries of the future come from? | Op-Ed
The student in a lab today may one day shape public policy, develop treatments or discover the next lifesaving cure.

🔬 @claudiamcl.bsky.social and I both work to support the next generation of scientists and foster a scientifically aware public. We authored an Op-Ed for the @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social about what’s at stake for science-and science education-right now!

In 1931, Italian scholars were made to take loyalty oaths. Will that happen to us?

Chilling to see this list of terminated NIH grants. Research on Alzheimer's, HIV, rare diseases, vaccines -- gone. Cancer centers closed, training grants & fellowships terminated. Young scientists stranded. Patients waiting for treatments that'll never come. Just sad.

It’s incredibly hard to see a national treasure like the NIH descend into the atrocious servitude of stripping out an image of one of their most successful Institute Directors in an effort to please the thinnest skinned President of all time.

We were delighted to have @king5news.com.web.brid.gy visit us in the Termini Lab to discuss how NIH funding cuts could affect cancer research:

We NEED indirect costs to provide funding needed complete research studies that will lead to life saving discoveries.
