Loves science. Willing to stand up and speak out for it. Really just wants to be in lab but here to scream into the void.

Everyone needs to know what the #BethesdaDeclaration is-

It is loud statement of dissent against leadership that has politicized research by halting high quality grants, disrupted work & interruption of global collaboration.

Being vocal is imperative now.

If you're an NSF funded investigator, it is a huge win. We went from a proposed 60% cut to a proposed 25% cut (in initial House budget) to a 3.9% cut (which should not affect NSF extramural appropriations). This means that most NSF directorates will continue funding at last year's rates and levels.
