The National Science Foundation continues to be threatened with major cuts.
The link below lists the Congresspeople who are on the frontlines of deciding these cuts this week and would be well worth a quick call today if they’re in your state to advocate for not cutting NSF’s budget.

And there's a 6% cut to NOAA's budget (we're still waiting to know that detail in the Senate version).
House appropriations meets tomorrow and Thursday.
So if you want to share your thoughts on the 23% cut to NSF, here's who to call: appropriations.house.gov/about/member...

Are you from one of these states? Then we need your help to save American science!
The Senate Appropriations Committee will be marking up the President's Budget Request for science on Wednesday. People have been saying the proposed cuts "decimated" US science, but that's wrong: they are apocalyptic

NOAA just sent out a "rare news release" urging media to focus the public's attention on Hurricane Helene's potential to cause widespread flooding "hundreds of miles inland," including "the urban areas around Tallahassee, metro Atlanta and western North Carolina, including Asheville."
