  1. #Scientists Press #Congress on Trump’s Dismissal of Funding Agency Board
    The slowed pace of #grants by the #NationalScienceFoundation (#NSF), under attack from #WhiteHouse, could put #US at disadvantage with China, scientists warned.
    “We stand with the #NationalScienceBoard, and call on Congress, as an equal branch of government, to rapidly and firmly support science by calling for the reinstatement of terminated #NSB members,” signatories wrote.

  2. Less than 10 percent of the scientists — who run the gamut from biologists to epidemiologists, from toxicologists to greenhouse gas emissions specialists — now remain at the agency. Moving forward, they will be under a political commissar, and their research will have to “align with agency and administration priorities.”

  5. #OpenAI, #Google, and #Microsoft Back Bill to Fund #‘AILiteracy’ in #Schools
    A new bill introduced by Senators Adam Schiff and Mike Rounds would award grants to the #NationalScienceFoundation—which has endured massive funding cuts under the Trump Administration for science research—to put “AI literacy” in schools.

    This seems noble until you realize that they are building a new moat around #students who will be well-versed in THEIR #AI tools.

Det centrala protokollet var Network Control Protocol (NCP) som lanserades 1970. NCP bestod av Arpanet Host-to-Host Protocol (AHHP) och Initial Connection Protocol (ICP). Dessutom fanns File Transfer Protocol (FTP) för filhantering och Telnet för fjärrinloggning för att användas via NCP. FTP lanserades 1973 och Telnet redan 1969.

  11. Trump Takes a ‘Wrecking Ball’ to Independent Scientific Advisory Board
    Without the impartial oversight of its board, the #NationalScienceFoundation (#NSF) is now “fully at the behest of the White House,” experts warn.
    The administration’s firing of all 22 current members of the #NationalScienceBoard last week stands out as “one of the darkest moments” of the past year and a half, said Jacquelyn Gill, a paleoecologist and biogeographer

  12. Trump’s mass firing of #NationalScienceBoard just dealt another blow to #American #science
    Ambitious research is on the chopping block following yet more cuts at the #NationalScienceFoundation.
    The #NSF was established in 1950 to “promote the progress of science,” among other goals. It has served as a major source of support for research and education. In 2024, the agency spent $9.39 billion—a substantial figure but only 0.1% of federal spending.

    Science funding was hit in 2025. What does that mean for the future?

    December 23, 20254:27 PM ET, 11-Minute Listen Transcript

    2025 was a hard year for science. The Trump administration upended federal funding for all kinds of scientific pursuits, slashing budgets across agencies like NASA, NIH and NOAA. PR’s Rob Stein and Katia Riddle spoke to scientists and officials who worry that those cuts could cause the United States to lose its competitive edge as a global hub for research and innovation, and steer future generations away from careers in science.

    National Science Foundation staffers express concerns about ‘politically motivated and legally questionable’ Trump actions

    by Rachel Frazin – 07/22/25 1:25 PM ET

    Employees of the National Science Foundation (NSF) are going public with concerns about “politically motivated and legally questionable” actions by the Trump administration related to their agency.

    Their concerns range from mass firings by the administration’s Department of Government Efficiency to interference with the grant process. 

    In particular, the employees allege that for grants “a covert and ideologically driven secondary review process by unqualified political appointees is now interfering with the scientific merit-based review system.”

    The accusation and others are detailed in a letter addressed to Rep. Zoe Lofgren (Calif.), the top Democrat on the House Science, Space and Technology Committee. Lofgren said at a press conference that the letter was being submitted to her office as “a protected whistleblower disclosure.”

    It was signed by 149 staffers, virtually all of whom signed either anonymously or whose names were redacted in the version of the letter that was made public on Tuesday.

    The NSF is an independent science agency that supports scientific research across various fields including biology, engineering, computer science and geoscience.

    The agency declined to comment on the letter.

  21. The anti-#science #Trump Clown 🤡 cabinet has gutted the #NationalScienceFoundation so badly that they have *canceled* the upcoming year’s so-called #MRI (Major Research Instrumentation) competition!! nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/file

    Instead, they will spend any remaining budget (crumbs) on last year’s proposals that were judged less than excellent.

    These grants are indispensable for shared laboratories at small colleges and state-supported universities that are not ‘Tier 1’ research powerhouses. Sad.
