From what I can gather online, Indigenous women activists in *Canada* took up the phrase after AAPF launched their campaign

It's application season so I wanted to share my NSF AAPF! My full application is on my website. Reading successful proposals really helped me to craft my own. Feel free to share! www.emilyjgriffith.com/nsf-aapf-app...

Hi astro 🔭 sky, I heard that the NSF Astronomy & Astrophysics Postdoc Fellowship (AAPF) is not being offered this year. Is that correct? I know it was cut in the PBR, but I wasn't sure what that meant in practice. Typically app would have opened Aug 15. www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...

I'm as angry about the murder of Renee Nicole Good as the next left-wing emigrant, and we should by all means shout her name. But really, respect the initiative of the AAPF and don't let this instance of extrajudicial execution eclipse the broader phenomenon of police violence against Black women…

We found a Florida grad student who was able to start it, so we can confirm the NSF AAPF is OPEN!! I will post instructions since it is actually challenging to navigate (none of the OSU grads had been able to figure it out)!
Okay, astro sky! 🔭 Has anyone successfully started a NSF AAPF application on grants.gov or research.gov? My advisee says it is grayed out/not available, but the program officer confirms that the AAPF should be open!

The message sent hits all the intended people, including those who used #SayHerName as conceived by the AAPF because this counters the success of that campaign.
Know-your-place aggression comes in countless forms, but the goal is always the same: to send a powerful message about how little the nation thinks of certain groups (so you’d better remember your place). Physical brutality isn’t enough; gotta add remarkable insult to already devastating injury.

Kimberlé Crenshaw and her colleagues at AAPF will be discussing and dissecting Trump's EO's to give us the lay of the land so we can move forward.

I'm actually fully saturated with students already, but I'd be happy to host postdoc fellows for the NHFP, the 51 Peg b, NSF AAPF, etc. Please feel free to reach out!

Hi bluesky, just popping on to let you know that I'm going to be heading to UC Santa Cruz as an NSF AAPF fellow in the fall! It's been absolutely wonderful hanging out with @thejason.wang and co remotely at CIERA, but I'm looking forward to working in-person again. Go banana slugs!

We know the names of George Floyd, Eric Garner, & Tamir Rice. Their stories shook the world. But what about Rekia Boyd? Breonna Taylor? Atatiana Jefferson? Many black women didn't receive as much attention and they deserve to be remembered too.

The NSF hasn't fared any better including completely eliminating postdoctoral fellowships. I was an NSF AAPF. That program is responsible for me getting to where I am now. We will lose so many early career scientists because of this.
