What a new proposed rule from OMB could mean, and how you can help
Dr. Liz Marnik, PhD, explains how you can fight a proposed OMB rule that would destabilize the funding system for scientific research, enable political appointees to decide which science gets funded, and muzzle science communication.
Ah yes, the Trump administration: where cutting scientific research funding was less about budgets and more about “Harvard bad, MAGA good.”
Nearly $3 billion worth of grants—poof, gone—because apparently the cure for cancer should be funded by GoFundMe.
Harvard fought back, and today a Boston judge basically said: “Nice try, but no. That’s not how federal law works.”
Translation: the government doesn’t get to pull billions out of universities just to score political points.
Imagine setting science back a decade just to keep a grudge alive. Peak 2016–2020 energy.

today i am one fifth of the way through my ochem course. i finished the first two chapters (17 and 18) and did the first self test this morning. i scored 66% on the first try, closed book. i feel kind of bad about it because i've been working so hard but i'm also trying to remind myself that is triple what i accomplished winter semester (yes, it went that badly). all i can do is keep working hard and keep moving. i finished 19.1 and tomorrow i'll start the background readings i need to do for 19.2.
work is going so well. i was really nervous this week because i had to submit my research protocol but my supervisor told me it was really good work and she was impressed!!! and multiple people have said i have so many skills. 🥹 honestly this praise is healing my inner child who was convinced he was never good enough no matter what (but possible because i have done so much therapy since then to allow myself to accept and believe it).
hard work pays off. i have to keep working hard.
All knowledge leads to something🐜

If not, watch some of it.
Anyway. They are funded by the NSF. As is a shit tonne of research and other science communication from and in the US. Pay attention to this shit.
NSF has awarded almost 50% fewer grants since Trump took office
