NSF’s grant cuts fall heaviest on scientists from underrepresented groups
Projects to broaden participation were cut disproportionately—and were often led by Black scientists, women, and those with disabilities

I needed a break from /all this/ and read this new paper on mechanisms of ezyme catalysis, from Herschlag and colleagues — including @rachael-kretsch.bsky.social. It's so beautifully written and argued.

And, of course, it was funded by the #NationalScienceFoundation.
Conformational ensembles reveal the origins of serine protease catalysis
Enzymes exist in ensembles of states that encode the energetics underlying their catalysis. Conformational ensembles built from 1231 structures of 17 serine proteases revealed atomic-level changes acr...

Couple of highlights this week:

• Shipping out not one but TWO Antarctic projects (ice monitoring, polar aurora), PLUS a scientist (heads-up, #mcmurdo)

• Software radio construction w/students and SpectrumX, a #NationalScienceFoundation spectrum management center—essential work today

More soon!

The #NationalScienceFoundation just announced any & all grant proposals for any #research projects whatsoever that in any way contain one of the words in the list below..

are hereby canceled.

Here's 1 of the list highlights:
The word ' #women'.

No research proposals about women allowed.
#science
A screenshot of all the words that will disqualify every single research proposal made in the United States if they contain such words anywhere in their proposal. The disqualifying words about which research proposals are no longer allowed to involve are: activism activists advocacy advocate advocates barrier barriers biased biased toward biases biases toward bipac black and Latinx community diversity community equity cultural differences cultural heritage culturally responsive disabilities disability discriminated discrimination discriminatory diverse backgrounds diverse communities diverse community diverse group diverse groups diversified diversify diversifying diversity and inclusion diversity equity enhancing diversity equal opportunity equality equitable equity ethnicity excluded female females fostering inclusivity gender gender diversity genders hate speech Hispanic minority historically implicit bias implicit biases inclusion inclusive inclusiveness inclusivity increased diversity increase the diversity indigenous community minorities inequalities inequality inequitable inequities institutional LGBT marginalized marginalized minorities minority multicultural polarization political prejudice privileges promoting diversity race and ethnicity racial racial diversity racial inequality racial justice racially racism sense of belonging sexual preference social justice social cultural socioeconomic status stereotypes systemic trauma underappreciated under represented underserved underrepresentation underrepresented underrepresentation underserved women undervalued, and victim

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Document posted by National Science Foundation program director on LinkedIn says not only that grants are being terminated by DOGE but that they're being deleted from databases. Presumably to make it difficult or even impossible to undo DOGE's illegal actions.
