It is disgusting to see that people’s health and wellbeing is being traded in to allow heavily polluting industries to make money. Coal power is the dirtiest form of energy and it should not be deregulated. We all benefit from cleaner air and cleaner water.

Exclusive: how NSF is scouring research grants for violations of Trump’s orders The US National Science Foundation has unfrozen grant funding, but it continues to scrutinize research projects, sowing turmoil.

NSF is still freezing grants and reviewing for potential clashes with trumps edicts: terms such asβ€œbroadening participation” language, foreign assistance, climate science, domestic energy” all flagged. This is insane, career wrecking and damaging for quality science 😑πŸ§ͺ

Postdocs are systematically underfunded and now, if you have NSF funding, not getting paid at all

Trump’s immigration policy could affect chemistry students and workers Possible immigration priorities may include travel bans and increased visa denial rates
