Another day testing the limits of resilience.
The Alexandria NSF building was designed for the NSF merit review process (gold standard), complete with a floor devoted to panels.
Now we aren’t allowed to have in person panels.
The loss of US science leadership will haunt this country for decades.
My latest for American Scientist Magazine helps give scientists the tools to fight back against politicized charges that our research is silly or pointless- tools that will work whether you’re asked “why are we funding this” from your asshole uncle at Thanksgiving or an asshole US Senator.

Literally the last thing you needed. Sorry Zack! 😥

"Effective today, sources tell Science, NSF’s division of grants & awards is returning all grant proposals previously approved for funding and awaiting final signoff to program officers who oversaw the initial review. In the meantime, according to those sources, NSF will not make any new awards."

Despite all of the chaos in the US, I’m excited to be in the phase where my lab is starting to crank out super cool results - too many to fit into a single seminar! I have to pick and choose what story to tell out of multiple interesting stories! The years of hard work are starting to pay off. 🙌🏼🧬🐟

It’s devastating to see the number of GRFP awards cut in half. These are already so competitive to get. My heart goes out to my students and all the others that put their hearts into their applications and deserved this award.

As federal funding for research is uncertain, we need to diversify funding sources for our PhD students.
Here is a comprehensive list of >160 PhD fellowships and funding opportunities, mostly from private foundations and scientific societies.

Over 80 years ago, author John Steinbeck voyaged to the Sea of Cortez on a trip that inspired one of his most celebrated works of nonfiction. The same boat from that expedition is now restored and serves as a classroom, immersing students in the science and stories of the sea.
