So much of the destruction in the USA is away from the spotlight at grass roots level. But the foundations of a modern society are being smashed. The National Science Foundation has just stopped awarding new grants and funding existing ones. That effectively means that work on all existing NSF grants has to stop immediately. Universities are telling researchers to stop spending on those grants right away. That's jobs and progress and opportunity just being eradicated.

@helenczerski Yes, it's infuriating, but we must keep fighting! Use our new toolkit for contacting elected officials to demand they #DefendResearch. Make calls with our script & background information (with testimonials from #researchers), then share with your networks and ask them to do the same! https://www.defendresearch.org/take-action/toolkits-for-action
