Loves science. Willing to stand up and speak out for it. Really just wants to be in lab but here to scream into the void.

"Effective May 5, 2025, NSF will apply a standard indirect cost rate not to exceed 15% to all grants and cooperative agreements awarded to IHEs for which indirect costs are allowable."
Star wars meme where Anakin says "Effective May 5, 2025, NSF will apply a standard indirect cost rate not to exceed 15% to all grants and cooperative agreements awarded to IHEs for which indirect costs are allowable." And padme responds "so you're going to award new grants effective may 5, right?"

What can you expect at the oval? Gathering with colleagues and friends to say loudly and together that we defend education and academic freedom. Also speakers and SUfS swag to take home for the memories.

We are co-sponsored by AAUP-OSU and this event is for all higher ed, not just science.

Huge turn out for hands off in Columbus today! Over 5000 people easily. Some of the more senior folks said that they had never seen this many people at the Statehouse protesting before.

Well done Ohio!

Sounds like a reason to #standupforscience!

I'm feeling that itch to hit the streets again to do some yelling...

Not denying the horribleness here but it's worth noting this new banner on the GRFP website as of this week (seems to have shown up after the CR passed).

"As in previous years, NSF anticipates announcing awards in the first half of April"

"As in previous years, NSF anticipates announcing awards in the first half of April."

Engaging in very cautious optimism for the thousands of students that applied for the GRFP this year.
