The privatization of NOAA’s core responsibilities—such as weather forecasting, climate research, and environmental monitoring—poses serious risks to the quality, accessibility, and impartiality of the information we all rely on.

ScienceInsider has confirmed h/t @merz.bsky.social. NIH has frozen study sections through at least Feb. 1 www.science.org/content/arti...
A news article headline from “SCIENCE INSIDER” under the category “Science and Policy.” The headline reads: “Trump hits NIH with ‘devastating’ freezes on meetings, travel, communications, and hiring.” Below the headline, a subheading states: “Researchers facing ‘a lot uncertainty, fear and panic.’” The article is authored by Meredith Wadman and Jocelyn Kaiser, published on January 22, 2025, at 5:45 PM ET. An excerpt from the article discussing the impact of the NIH freeze. It states that the freeze affects meetings of federal advisory committees and study sections, leading to the cancellation of advisory council meetings at NIH’s dental and bioengineering institutes. These council meetings include a critical closed-door session for finalizing grant awards. The article mentions uncertainty about the status of grants if the review meetings are canceled. Additionally, the pause on study sections is highlighted as a major concern for researchers, as it prevents NIH from issuing research awards.
