How bad will it be? Catastrophic.
Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come.
But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget.
Speak up now before it is too late.

NSF Physics was cut by 85%, basically wiping out most of its capacity for supporting research.
NSF Astronomy was cut by 53%
Undergrad education was cut by 71% and research on learning by 79%
Graduate education was cut by 100% to ZERO.

Grad school admissions in physics and astro are severely contracted rn because of funding uncertainty. Departments that should know better are using undergrad publications to narrow down the applicant pool. This is grossly unfair and has more to do with avoiding hard work than assessing applicants.

This would essentially be the end of American astronomy; like at this point (especially if Roman/other missions get killed) I either find a new job or find a new country.
First the rumour was a 20% budget cut. Then, 50%. Now the president's NASA budget is out and it's a 68% cut to astrophysics ($1.5B to $487M).
Even if this gets reversed in four years, we will *never* recover the missions, partners, people who will be gone.

Massive cuts to NASA science proposed in early White House budget plan
The preliminary version of President Donald Trump’s budget proposal to Congress, known as a “passback,” would cut the agency’s science budget funding nearly in half.

As scientists, we now have even more responsibility to be loud supporters & allies of diversity in science. 🔭
It also honors the legacy of Rubin, who was a tremendous astronomer who missed out on a Nobel because of sexism. She would be furious; and we need to be taking action

Over 200 JPLers have lost everything in the LA fires. Every single project I work on includes at least one, most multiple. Everyone at JPL is affected, everyone is utterly heartbroken for our community.

One of the lesser talked about genocides generally..Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island (Americas) have the right to existence and those children were future leaders, teachers, beaders, artists, healers, doctors, mums and dads. Their lives had so much promise.
The Post’s year-long investigation found that three times as many Native American students had died at boarding schools between 1828 and 1970 as the U.S. government had previously reported.
More than 3,100 students died at schools built to crush Native American cultures

LIGO can detect events that alter its mirrors by as small as 1/10,000th the width of a proton. the only equipment more sensitive than this is the recoil instinct of a woman in science when a colleague is hitting on her.
