@defendresearch.bsky.socialICYMI: Fossil fuel money helped weaken university independence, researchers argue. Their study traces decades of corporate influence on science.
@alittleroad.bsky.socialReally important and interesting topic being covered in this webinar today; free to register! Do come along if you can.

@petersuber.bsky.socialThanks to the @brennancenter.org for showing how state and local govts -- and not just the fed govt -- censor and politicize research.

@defendresearch.bsky.socialICYMI: Cancel grants “for convenience”? ED proposes new power. Higher ed groups warn of politicized funding.
@defendresearch.bsky.socialWriting
NSF slashed new social science grants by 89%. More than 30 program areas got ZERO awards. You don't defend science by dismantling it.
@defendresearch.bsky.socialICYMI: The AHA backs a bill to shield the Smithsonian from interference. Historical scholarship must be evidence-based.
@lschiff.bsky.socialI'm very honored and excited to be speaking as part of the @toki-crassh.bsky.social series! I'll be focusing on how research and social infrastructure has held up--or not!--in this moment! #DefendResearch
@defendresearch.bsky.socialICYMI: Congress approved the money. Trump moved to cancel nearly $1B—including $70M in international education grants. Lawmakers question the legality.
@defendresearch.bsky.socialICYMI: Who decides what history the Smithsonian tells? A bill would bar federal interference and require reporting.
@mikeholloway.bsky.social@defendresearch.bsky.socialICYMI: Can a major climate research lab be broken up for political reasons? UCAR sued to stop the NCAR selloff, alleging retaliation against Colorado.
@defendresearch.bsky.socialICYMI: “Nobody’s OK.” A former NIH program director describes fear, lost expertise and political pressure on science. Staff started documenting it.
@defendresearch.bsky.social$174 BILLION in disrupted federal funds. The Lost Funds project maps cuts and freezes affecting research, schools and communities. Check your state.
@defendresearch.bsky.socialICYMI: Reporting science under pressure? Journalists share tactics: fact-check officials, protect sources and follow evidence.
@defendresearch.bsky.socialICYMI: Who decides what gets funded? OMB’s plan favors presidential priorities and would bar grant-paid publication fees.
@defendresearch.bsky.socialICYMI: College leaders spoke out against political interference and coercive research funding cuts. Their 2025 statement calls for academic freedom and open inquiry.
@defendresearch.bsky.social9,000+ pages weren't enough. The EEOC is suing Harvard for more hiring and diversity records.
