National Science Foundation Terminates Hundreds of Active Research Awards The agency targeted grants focused on diversity, equity and inclusion, as well as research on misinformation.

No surprise from an administration of disinformation actors.
Just feeling deeply angry for my colleagues.

Pretending that research on misinformation ”infringes on the constitutionally protected speech rights of American citizens” is such pathetic bs.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.
