My colleague's parents came from Europe to visit him and they had to cancel their trip to Yosemite this weekend because of the extra $300 for three international visitors.
Check out this story from USA TODAY: Trump orders entry fee, DEI changes at national parks
Currently, all national park visitors are subject to the same entry fee structure, but the Trump administration wants to charge foreign tourists more.

Hey, let me know if you are interested in hiring a postdoc to study neurobiology of social behaviors in social insects (preferably ants)!

Even without the AI shit, tons of people have still been messed up by the 15 months policy since the pause of last round
Holy shit: it's an RFP for the NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB). Hello old friend www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...

Hot take: folks are too focused on the AI emphasis of the PRFB & missing the most concerning part of the solicitation.
The heavy emphasis on bio-AI integration for “technological advances” is a concerning degradation of NSFs mission to fund basic biological research.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.
