This means NSF dissertation improvement grants in the social sciences are simply...not happening.
NEW from me - NSF cancels grant scheme for social science research.
Seems the NSF quietly archived ALL calls for DDRIG grants in the SBE directorate. This is a massive blow for PhD students wanting to do cutting-edge social science research. 🏺🧪

All NSF DDRG programs have been "archived," meaning that they are not accepting solicitations. This grant funded all of my laboratory work, and I would not have been able to conduct my dissertation without it.

This paper just came out in Folia, and it shows that there is more variation in invertebrate nutrition than we previously thought. Important for nutritional ecologists out there.

I've been on a twitter break since the Elon takeover, but it's time to reenter the conversation 💕 I'm wrapping up my PhD, "Wild white-faced capuchin nutritional goals and fitness in a changing climate" and looking for a post doc focused on nutritional ecology/botany/plant-primate interactions 🍃
