🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Had the pleasure of doing a Vanguard podcast with Danielle Boyer and Itzy Morales Pantoja. I tried to rep the #disability activist community as best I could. The episode will be out before the holidays.
