A line plot with the numbers of NSF awards for fiscal years 2021-2026. The curve for fiscal year 2026 is quite a bit lower than those for 2021-2025 while the curve for fiscal year 2026 (in red) is much lower than all through the same date.

But, as they say, there is no time like the present

[OK, maybe the 1930s if you want to nitpick]

But, with some data wrangling, my first NSF Funding Curves!

Heather Cox Richardson quote

Last night, people gathered in the streets of Chicago to declare their opposition to war with Iran.

Public health disaster

Thanks for the mention, Beth. Much appreciated.

A White House conflict of interests that should be getting a ton more attention.

Some of us are very familiar with this account the pro-Trump X account Johnny MAGA. It built a following of nearly 300,000 by presenting itself as just another independent voice in the MAGA ecosystem.

Day one of the bombings it was important to target the girls' school. Over 51 children dead. A useful heuristic to figure out if something is evil or not is: does it start with us killing children. As this HAS started in us killing children. This is old news. Us killing children.

The new lawsuits target Utah, Oklahoma, Kentucky, West Virginia and New Jersey — four of which are GOP-led states that have refused to comply with the demands.

TRYING TO PROVOKE BOTH A WORLD WAR AND CIVIL WAR AT THE SAME TIME WHILE DEMANDING A NOBLE PEACE PRIZE IS A LEVEL OF INSANITY I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

Exactly this. 🎯🎯🎯

Chris Murphy: "We need to stand up for the American citizens that ICE is murdering, the kids they're terrorizing. They should stop this illegal war and they should stop ICE from terrorizing our communities. We should demand they do both things."

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

She is, straight up, a power-house and take no shit women. She will stand up to this administration. Has stood up. Has been attacked because of it. Will continue to stand up and be very vocal about the distain for this pedophile and his administration and nazi tactics against American citizens.

The US needs a regime change—and neither we, nor the world, can wait until 2029! Time for bravery!

Why would Trump attack Iran when only 20% of Americans support this? Trump views us as subjects, not voters. He doesn’t care what the American public supports or doesn’t. We are ruled by a sociopath with the most lethal military in the world. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/the-us-nee...

I hate how accurate this tweet is.

February is #BlackHistoryMonth.

Did you know…

We owe the development of modern chemotherapy and clinical oncology to the black oncologist Jane Cooke Wright.

Of note- basic research (cell culture) helped adding chemotherapy as a #breastcancer treatment option.
