🧪 NSF FY26 budget fact check:
CLAIM 1️⃣: The GRFP is completely cut.
No, the (requested) cut is 55%.
CLAIM 2️⃣: CAREER and REU are also wiped out.
No, not enough info in the budget doc.
BACKGROUND: Misinterpretation comes from a really confusing way that NSF reports one of the tables:
CLAIM 1️⃣: The GRFP is completely cut.
No, the (requested) cut is 55%.
CLAIM 2️⃣: CAREER and REU are also wiped out.
No, not enough info in the budget doc.
BACKGROUND: Misinterpretation comes from a really confusing way that NSF reports one of the tables:
GRFP is 55% cut, not 100%.
The bottom table part can be misleading: it's not saying, "cut CAREER, GRFP, REU, etc. completely". It's instead saying, "cut the part of those programs that emphasize broadening participation"
[Have looked at past budgets to confirm this interpretation]

Beneath your feet is a complex network of fungal trade routes carrying essential nutrients from the soil to the roots of plants.
Dr. @tobykiers.bsky.social joins us to talk about how these complex networks form.

Scientists Observe Fungi Creating Complex Supply Chains
Fungal networks in the ground ferry crucial nutrients to plants. But how do brainless organisms form complex supply chain networks?
