You read that right. 75% of scientists are considering leaving the US. Forgive me (not really) if I'm struggling to understand exactly how this is making the US anything other than diminished, stupid, and ill.

"DOGE fired the supervisor who approves new oil projects in Osage County, OK. It basically stopped new permitting, cutting against Trump's own drill, baby, drill mantra. Musk's team had to quickly scramble & rehire."

#Musk's #DOGE is fraudulent & dangerous. The #firings are out-of-control. Whether it's AI or human error: lives, livelihoods, & the economy: suffering.

How about the rehiring in the #CDC, #NIH, #NSF, NOAA, #FDA, #VA...

People know that US science research funding is threatened with gigantic budget cuts right?

My field in physical science is most connected to #nsf and #nasa, where widespread rumors threaten to cut #science #research budgets in half in the president's budget proposal next year. Other agencies like #noaa and #nist #epa #nih, etc are all facing dangerous cuts.

Of course Congress is responsible for the actual budget, and it may see things differently. Still, the president's vision is guiding science agencies' decisions now in responing to guidance for 25-50% staffing cuts in science agencies. Permanent damage may be done before Congress can act.

For science projects which take decades to realize, drastic cuts like this can wipe out the results of decades of investment and can similarly take decades to recover from in affected research areas.

This issue is entirely in addition to concerns about the administration's weaponization of research funding for separate political purposes, as with #Columbia and other universities.

@eff to NSF: AI Action Plan Must Put People First

This past January the new administration issued an executive order on #AI taking the place of the now rescinded Biden-era order, calling for a new AI Action Plan tasked with “unburdening” the current AI industry to stoke innovation and remove “engineered social agendas” from the industry. This new action plan for the president is currently being developed and open to public comments to the #NSF

@mrak Cutting #NSF, but not #NASA, funding makes NO SENSE. Space related sciences get research funding from NSF, not NASA. NASA is outsourcing its key space programs to SpaceX which is a private entity that benefits its shareholders, not common American taxpayers. #NSF is the government agency that coordinates with major American universities and institutions for the funding of "REAL" scientific, including space related, research.

In partnership with the National Science Foundation @NSF, The Builder Platform, powered by The Engine, is supporting ten US regional innovation engines. This is part of a potential #NSF investment of nearly $1.6 billion over the next decade. WOW!
