🚨 A proposed policy would reclassify career civil servants as political appointees, fundamentally altering how the government, and science, works.

TAKE ACTION!

You can submit a public comment to stop this by May 23rd ⬇️

UPDATE: We have data on >1000 terminated #NSF grants at grant-watch.us. Thanks to all who have been contributing data the past few days.

We've also added a "Reports" section with some analyses. For NSF, we see that the STEM education directorate has been absolutely pummeled.

We've been asked if we have specific stories that representatives can quoteβ€”so we're asking YOU. Why do you Stand Up for Science?

We'll also share responses on our website so that you can better advocate for why science is important to your community.
