But I guess that's the times we're living in now. (Not that I want to sit back and accept that, though.)

When I read "crappo language" (scientific term) at the very beginning of a paper it's usually the end of my reading time with the so-called document.

Non-capital-equipment research grants down almost 60% from 2025. Combined discretionary funding down 55%. Overall funding down 43% (after a brand new $900m line item for an Antarctic research vessel).

And this isn't the actual final funding. This is the *ask*.

Carnage.

Their director resigned in protest last spring, if memory serves, and they've got a nonscientist interim now. I seem to remember a surprise relocation also, and some terrible alterations to peer review?

I was there for a brief fellowship in 2008/9 and was just so impressed by everything about the place -- the program officers and other staff I met were curious, dedicated, collegial people who wanted to make their fields better.

I'm an American chemistry professor's daughter. I became a privacy researcher. I left the US 2 decades ago because I was a privacy researcher under the Bush admin and the writing was on the wall.

But this? NSF funding was... prestigious.

I... there are no institutions left, are there.
