People in local communities don't see how science impacts them. We must communicate how science impacts everyone. These cuts will be catastrophic. The US will lag behind other nations in scientific discoveries that save lives and positively impact people in the US. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Hi Kate-- I'm really sorry to hear this. If NIH terminations are any guide, we expect NSF terminations to be chaotic, so we're trying to track them and organize the information. If don't mind, please have your team enter their grants here:
