The amazing, brilliant, and adventurous professor Jay Quade of @uarizona.bsky.social and @nationalacademies.org passed away peacefully last Friday in Tucson, surrounded by loved ones. He was probably the brightest and most honest scientist and human being I had the opportunity to work with.

This change without warning is devastating to a bunch of students who had the rug pulled out from under them! A 1-cycle warning, or even a warning a few months ago would have been game changing for a lot of junior scientists.
I can understand why NSF is limiting GRFP apps to undergrads and 1st year grad students .
What I can't why they didn't wait one cycle to implement after making the announcement.
But I do trust that the program officers are doing their best to keep science afloat under extraordinary conditions.

Unbelievable experience with the journal Palaeo3. Our manuscript was rejected because… they couldn’t find a second reviewer, and it had been in their system “too long” (7 weeks), according to the editor. In other words, just to preserve their review-speed metrics, they rejected our submission.
