Michigan State University has lost over $11 million in #NSF grants since 4/18, but said its not enough to make it worthwhile to litigate.

MSU, if $11M is not enough to fight for your faculty, what amount is?

#NSF had a 11am meeting. By 11:07, I received a message from our program officer stating, "the entire Division of Equity for Excellence in STEM has just been dissolved and the entire staff fired."

This attack on science, research and academic freedom is unconscionable!

After many weeks of Trump carnage with NIH and NSF, I would expect the universities might be prepared and able to help us navigate. If nothing else, they could treat those devastated by these cuts with kindness and compassion....

Alas, this is too much to ask....

University just terminated 6 postdocs funded on a terminated NSF grant - contract provides for 60 days of transition, so that’s a partial relief. I wish univ had warned us BEFORE sending so we could prepare the postdocs - everyone knew termination was coming, but a cold email is never kind

Here's a copy of an NSF grant termination notice that went out today. "NSF is issuing this termination to protect the interests of the government pursuant...on the basis that they no longer effectuate the program goals or agency priorities." Not subject to appeal. #HigherEd #AcademicSky
Text of email: Dear [redacted], The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has undertaken a review of its award portfolio. Each award was carefully and individually reviewed, and the agency has determined that termination of certain awards is necessary because they are not in alignment with current NSF priorities. Effective immediately, the following are terminated: [redacted] NSF is issuing this termination to protect the interests of the government pursuant to NSF Grant General Conditions (GC-1) term and condition entitled Termination and Enforcement; on the basis that they no longer effectuate the program goals or agency priorities. This is the final agency decision and not subject to appeal. Costs incurred as a result of this termination may be reimbursed, provided such costs would otherwise be allowable under the terms of the award and the governing cost principles. In accordance with your award terms and conditions, you have 30 days from the termination date to furnish a summary of progress under the award and an itemized accounting of allowable costs incurred prior to the termination date. Sincerely, [redacted] Division Director Office of Budget Finance and Award Management (BFA) Division of Grants and Agreements (DGA)

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill.

Do not let anyone play games with you.

Integration means, remembering that healing work is as powerful outside of sessions as inside. We are our healing guides and integration is sacred to the process.

Culturally-knowledgeable and culturally-sensitive care from providers that understand and value my background and life experiences.

Trauma-informed care with those who can hold the pain and trauma while fostering trust, innate healing guidance, and hope for a better future.

Mainstream psychology is starting to embrace #psychedelics—is this good or bad?

Increased attention could bring $$$ for safety and infrastructure AND oversight. With 96% of $ going to drug devel, we must focus on building the field ourselves.

Are we ready to shape this future?

As psychedelic practitioners, we must become more comfortable sitting with the difficult emotions and experiences individuals may have during a psychedelic session, remembering that a 'bad trip' may still be one of the most transformative experiences of their lives.

Want a way to check how companies are using your money to influence politics? Check out the app Goods Unite Us and their website goodsuniteus.com. I was horrified by some of the spending of companies I use regularly (used to use regularly....).
