The National Science Foundation cancelled over 60 grant review panels today, effectively grinding funding of new projects to a halt.
The so-far indefinite pause comes as NSF grapples with the impact Trump's executive orders will have on their grantmaking process.

Itβs been nearly 8 years since I attended the science march in our nationβs capital. Itβs disheartening, to say the least, that things have only gotten worse since then. The fight never stops!

@brandononscience.bsky.social stopped by to talk Climate Change and the cross-section of spirituality and science, @profofsmartthings.bsky.social discussed JD Vance and the War on Science. And we tried to get to the bottom of the Smash Burger Fad.

We have larger concerns heading into 2025, but I can't let go of the idea that the next season of Sesame Street could be its last. So I wrote about why the kids' TV institution is still vital after more than 50 years:

What makes submarine pitchers so effective?
I used to think they released the ball closer to home plate, but that is wrong!
They make up for a lack in velocity with deception and spin.
A normal fastball has backspin, but a submarine fastball rotates forward and toward the pitching arm side.
The people who believe vaccines cause autism also want to dismantle the Department of Education. These same people will soon be sworn into office. We must fight them every step of the way.

Sesame Street deserves all the funding in the world. We need to fight for every childβs right to an education now more than ever.

This is a failed attempt at reciting the Pythagorean theorem, which applies to right triangles, not isosceles triangles. A more accurate description would be to say, the hypotenuse of a right triangle squared is equal to the sum of the the squares of the other two sides.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Although rooted in scientific truth, it is a myth that turkey makes you sleepy because itβs packed with tryptophan.
Turkey does in fact contain tryptophan, but not enough to put you to sleep.
Youβre probably just sleepy from overeating all your favorite holiday foods!
Happy 69th Birthday to the man who introduced many of us to the wonders of science, Bill Nye!
