I only have one data point, but I think it's the same at nsf

Over the past 6 months, I've been truly amazed by the level of service and dedication of NSF employees.

Amid an impossible situation like, you know, a wrecking ball to science, another agency evicting you from your headquarters...

THANK A PROGRAM OFFICER for their dedicated efforts amid the chaos.

Hi, I sent you an email. I wonder what webinars that I can attend.

Chapter XII: Award Administration Disputes and Misconduct

On NSF Grant Terminations- even if your termination letter says that you cannot appeal, there is a legal basis for you to appeal within 30 days in PPAPG www.nsf.gov/policies/pap... and in Uniform Guidance 200.340 www.ecfr.gov/current/titl.... Appeal and send a message!

so sorry... Assistant Profs shouldn't have to put up with this

Do not treat this as fait accompli. We are winning in courts and public opinion. Nominees are being withdrawn. Congress is shook. Musk is leaving.

Organize. Call. Appeal. Sue. Keep the pressure on your bosses.

Do the same for trans and immigrant rights, public health, and more. Solidarity forever.

when is this?

Our paper is out that shows how a #bioinformatics technique that can not only update Blast incrementally but extends it to other alignment-based methods. A side effect is that their sensitivity increases. peerj.com/articles/191...

@peerj.bsky.social We have been waiting over 8 weeks for an accepted article to get published. I am not sure that I can vouch for your fast publishing anymore.

BREAKING: We're suing the National Institutes of Health over their politically-motivated purge of research grants.

This is an unlawful attack on scientific progress that puts lives at risk.

We’ve often said tenured professors don’t see themselves as workers, so I’m glad to see this effort gain momentum!!! Once a certain signature threshold is reached, this will be published on AAUP blog & the organizers will solicit press coverage.

Please share!

Honored to receive the #Drexel College of Engineering Oustanding Career Research Award!

now we know what he did last week

So proud of our scholars and the difference our #inclusive program is making.

oh really... last week they were predicting snow for philly but by Monday all those forecasts were gone, and they say we're lucky to get anything
