All terms being used to flagged in NSF research. Notably “women” but not “men”, “disability”, and “trauma”.

Stalin would approve.
Mao would approve.
Our founding fathers would not.
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

@reverendwarnock.bsky.social: "That [Trump] would use this moment - when bodies are still literally on the bottom of the Potomac and families are being notified - to advance his agenda of attacking DEI and Democrats speaks volumes. Not only is it shameful, quite frankly it's dangerous."

Tina Smith (D-MN) NIH: $718M, 8K jobs.
Smith stands up for SSRIs and other antidepressants. RFK Jr is a threat to the nation’s mental health.
RFK Jr’s anecdotes are not science.
Saying “the science needs to be done” when there are reams of scientific studies available is peak RFK Jr.

Hi, RFK Jr., there is an entire body of scientific evidence about food additives. Maybe you should check out PubMed?

2. #Flu activity had started to decline in the 2nd week of January, but it was climbing again in the week ending 1/18. 15 jurisdictions had very high flu activity; 24 had high. Montana seems to be having a very light flu season; not sure why that would be.
