Where does your weather forecast come from? Whether you get your forecast from an app on your phone, a website or a meteorologist on TV, most of the underlying information comes from the federal government.

Host a teach in. Share science with your community....protest style! Calling back to the teach ins of 1965, we are taking to parks, pubs, & churches to tell our neighborhoods about how the budget cuts will impact them.

Our goal is to have 1000 SUFS Teach Ins across the US, by 9/30.

*GASP* 😮

We know, it's a big goal.

If you've received tax dollars for your science, you have a responsibility to inform *your* community what is at stake: public health, the economy, innovation, and America's global leadership.

To the cartoonist who drew this, well done.

The NWS costs the average tax payer $4 per year. This is an efficient, life-saving service that should be funded.

Here's the plan:
1. Find your reps: www.congress.gov/members/find...

2. Make 3 calls > your district rep and your two senators.

Multiple deaths reported in Somerset and London due to late night tornadoes UPDATED The towns of Somerset and London have been hit particularly hard with many homes and buildings damaged in the early morning hours.

🚨URGENT RESPONSE CALL🚨

🌪️23 LIVES WERE LOST OVERNIGHT AS TORNADOS HIT KY.

KY has one of several regions in the US without 24/7 National Weather Service coverage, due to DOGE cuts. W/out overnight monitoring, ppl don't receive weather warnings.

THIS is how science cuts cost lives.

To: Senior Deputy Chairman National Endowment for the Humanities Via: eGMS Reach Re: Appeal of NEH Termination Action Dear Senior Deputy Chairman, I am writing to formally appeal the termination of my NEH fellowship grant FN29861124. Background My grant FN29861124 is an award to individuals. Therefore it is subject to the terms and conditions given at https://www.neh.gov/general-terms-and-conditions-awards-individuals (“NEH Individual Terms and Conditions”). In the NEH Individual Terms and Conditions, Section VIII.Y “Termination” states that “NEH may terminate your award if, for any reason, you choose to discontinue the proposed project before the end of the period of performance or fail to observe the award’s terms and conditions.” This is the only provision of Section VIII.Y which provides for termination of the award by NEH, rather than by the grantee. Termination Notice Is Not Compliant with the NEH Individual Terms and Conditions I received a notice of termination of this grant via email on April 3, 2025. It listed April 3 as the effective date and was signed by Michael McDonald. The termination notice which I received states the reason for termination as follows: “Your grant no longer effectuates the agency’s needs and priorities and conditions of the Grant Agreement and is subject to termination due to several reasonable causes, as outlined in 2CFR§200.340.” However, “no longer effectuating” needs and priorities is not included in the possible reasons for termination laid out in Section VIII of the NEH Individual Terms and Conditions. In fact, the words “effectuate”, “needs” and “priorities” do not appear anywhere in the NEH Individual Terms and Conditions. Furthermore, the termination notice does not list any reason which is included in Section VIII. Specifically, it does not state that I have “[chosen] to discontinue the proposed project before the end of the period of performance” or “[failed] to observe the award’s terms and conditions.”

page 2: IIn fact, at the time of the termination, my project was continuing on the work plan approved at the date of award in April 2024, and I was in compliance with all terms and conditions. The termination notice also cites 2CFR§200.340 as justification. The relevant section of 2CFR§200.340 is paragraph (a)(4), which states that grants may be terminated “By the Federal agency or pass-through entity pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Federal award, including, to the extent authorized by law, if an award no longer effectuates the program goals or agency priorities.” This paragraph still requires that terminations must be “pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Federal award.” Because this termination was not pursuant to the NEH Individual Terms and Conditions, it is not authorized under 2CFR§200.340. Conclusion NEH did not follow the Individual Terms and Conditions when terminating my individual award. It also did not follow 2CFR§200.340, since that provision requires Federal agencies to act pursuant to the terms and conditions of awards when issuing terminations. Therefore, I request that NEH reinstate the award immediately. Sincerely, Amalia Skilton

This is probably fruitless but I submitted the attached appeal letter to the termination of my #NEH/#NSF individual fellowship yesterday.

Sent via eGMS Reach to PO, asking to forward to the senior deputy chairman (who has to receive it per T&C).

We are SO grateful to our French colleagues for Standing Up for Science all across France, today!

Joining forces in unity, is the answer to the attack on science and higher education.

Thank you @standupforscifr.bsky.social ✊❤️

Today in 🇫🇷 was the second day of support to our🗽 colleagues and to defend academic freedom everywhere. It also happened to be the carnival 🥳🥸 of Caen, the biggest student carnival in Europe ! So I got great pictures 😁 #standupforscience @standupforscifr.bsky.social @standupforscience.bsky.social

Show us your protest signs!!

Just a reminder: having a functional moral compass right now is going to make you feel bad all the time; don’t mistakenly hate yourself for that.

ATTENTION

If you are someone (or know someone) who is enrolled in an NIH-funded clinical trial that has been disrupted by grant uncertainties or terminations, please DM me.

THANK YOU!

Hey SUFS Community!

If you fall into one of the following categories and are willing to talk to press (on or off the record), please comment/DM us:

1. Had a funded grant revoked
2. Are considering moving abroad to continue your research
3. Have been impacted by the stoppage of a clinical trial

By attacking science:

We are less safe because science informs national security and medical care.

We are less prosperous because science drives innovation and economic benefit.

We are less free because science and democracy depend on the liberty to ask questions, and seek and share knowledge.

How do we keep Standing Up for Science? A heartfelt thank you for everyone that Stood Up for Science with us on March 7th—whether it be volunteering, donating, sharing, or attending in event, we're forever indebted to people like you who ca...

But our work is far from done—science is still under attack.

We’ve got ideas, but we want to hear from you. What’s worrying you most? What should we do next? How can we grow this movement together?

These cuts hit essential services and future innovation. 🧵⬇️

First and foremost, an incredible THANK YOU to everyone who has supported Stand Up for Science—whether you attended our events, donated, shared, or volunteered. We are so humbled by how many people showed up to support us & all of the passion that people brought with them.
