- Reposted by Rosie ʻAnolani AlegadoI’m hearing this from many people - now is a REALLY GOOD TIME to submit proposals, to show there is persistent demand for grant funding
- Reposted by Rosie ʻAnolani AlegadoNSF funding allocations to divisions get adjusted based on numbers of proposals; if we opt out of submitting proposals because of threats of cuts, it can cause future years budgets to divert money out of our divisions.

- Reposted by Rosie ʻAnolani AlegadoStart every day with this reality: EVERY HOUSE SEAT and 33 Senate seats are up for election in 2026. THAT must be the focus. Let’s get disciplined. #LeaveNoPowerOnTheTable ballotpedia.org/United_State...
- Reposted by Rosie ʻAnolani AlegadoI’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW. No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote. So stop making it like Black voters are expendable or that you can serve up any candidate chosen by Pelosi, Clooney or MSM & win.
- Reposted by Rosie ʻAnolani AlegadoMaxine Berg shows how the “nimble fingers” stereotype first arose in the early Industrial Revolution as a way for managers to de-skill the labor of women workers. It was also used to exoticize labor of Navajo semiconductor manufacturers at Shiprock in the 60s. The term has a long sordid history.

- Reposted by Rosie ʻAnolani AlegadoThe fantastically successful NIGMS MIRA R35 "expired" on May 17, after the most recent deadline--these removals are the most aggressive attack on American science in the current series of devastating actions 🧪
- NIH moved up the expiration date for some funding opportunities, effectively *canceling* the next application date without removing it from the standard table. I can't even imagine how many people are still prepping these grants. 👀 List of impacted opportunities: grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

- Reposted by Rosie ʻAnolani AlegadoThis is not a screenplay. For some, these will be life or death situations. For many, these natural disasters will yield devastating loss. We should have a FEMA ready, able and fully staffed to support the American public when it needs it most.
- Reposted by Rosie ʻAnolani Alegado"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging."

- Reposted by Rosie ʻAnolani Alegado"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."
- 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...

He testified just yesterday that he didn’t think the agency should be eliminated, per Trump and DHS Sec. Kristi Noem’s wishes. Apparently the wrong answer.

Check out this site and follow: www.project2025.observer Call your representatives and ask them if they are aware of this site and how much of their plans have been implemented.

- Reposted by Rosie ʻAnolani AlegadoProbably every single woman in science in the United States under the age of 50 has been positively impacted by the NSF ADVANCE program in some way. As I hear stories of ADVANCE cancellations, it's hard to really fully grasp the tremendous damage the end of that one program is doing. 🧪
