Thank you God! Thank you to my family, friends, and colleagues who have supported throughout this journey! It has been an interesting one for sure!
🧪Have a terminated NSF grant? Or been impacted by such a termination? Call your Senators, esp if they're Repub!!
An amendment to restore killed NSF grants will later be debated on the *full Senate* floor, after it narrowly failed in committee today.
🧵 Brief thread 1/4
Another rotation around the sun, and all I can say is Thank You Lord for All You’ve Done For Me! I have a praise on my heart, a smile on my face, and a fire shut up in my bones! I got a special pre-birthday surprise but can’t share it yet…. #IYKYK
Motherdear, you’re the real MVP of the day!
🧪 Russ Vought, a Project 2025 architect, is currently withholding $2.5 billion from NSF's budget for this year.
This move is:
-Illegally secretive
-Unusual and suspect
-Disrupts science
-Subverts Congress
It's also urgent because the *fiscal* year ends Sept 30 (call your rep).
🧵 Let's unpack...
Happy #Juneteenth

This is the energy we all need to have, I echo @drtrmorton.bsky.social that we need boots on the ground!
I’ll spare my musings but I believe boots on the ground has multiple meanings.
*collective action since I can’t edit the skeet. 😂
Thank you @advancejournal.bsky.social for featuring my thoughts on the current moment.
I invite you all to check out “This Joy that I Have…” and then dialogue with me about individual and collection action.

Thank you @tennesseelookout.com for including my thoughts in your recent article on Federal Grant cancellations that impact the state of #Tennessee
We need more local reports of the federal impact to show that these cuts impact everyone!
