- Reposted by Stephanie E. ZickRacist and sexist roots in the cancellation of NSF grants under Trump: Grants with female PIs canceled 2x more than men Grants with Black PIs canceled 4x over White PIs Grants with Hispanic PIs canceled 2x over White PIs Grants with PIs with disabilities canceled 2x more than without
- Another scoop from Jeff Mervis (@policyhound.bsky.social): NSF's ~1400 grant terminations have disproportionately affected PIs from groups underrepresented in science: women, racial & ethnic minorities, & those with disabilities. 1/3 www.science.org/content/arti...
- Reposted by Stephanie E. Zick"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants. Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

- Twitter. Did I do it right?? 🤪
- Reposted by Stephanie E. ZickUPDATE: 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.

- Reposted by Stephanie E. ZickAlmost all NOAA Research websites that rely on cloud services - including Amazon, Google and WordPress - are poised to disappear at midnight ET Saturday after a contract was targeted for "early termination." Labs may also feel the effects. Story for @bloomberg.com (free link):

- This is what I’m covering in tropical meteo right now and why I have my students making thickness maps as they learn about the cyclone phase space!
- Reposted by Stephanie E. Zick[Not loaded yet]
- For my trop met class, I need my students to be able to plot 1000-500 mb thickness using a simple web interface. NCEP/NCAR reanalysis only works through 2014. UWyoming not working. Plymouth State Univ website is great but plots based on upper air data - so not great for TC over ocean. Any ideas??
