Racial affinity groups are under attack. Now is the time to redouble our commitments to these vital organizations that make science better for all. Proud to pen this letter with @khadlily.bsky.social and many @wocineeb.bsky.social colleagues

Proud to be part of this awesome team! Thanks to @balachaudhary.bsky.social and @khadlily.bsky.social, unstoppable forces in EcoEvo 💜💜
@wocineeb.bsky.social has done a lot for me and other POC in EcoEvo so please help us protect groups like this www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
“Even if I had the opportunity to alter this work to be in compliance, whatever that may mean, I can’t remove my identity in my story…And that being under attack hurts probably the most.” - a quote from me! www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
1. When will the Award Cash Management Service (ACM$) be restored to allow disbursements on active awards? Access to ACM$ has been restored and the system is available to accept payment requests as of 12:00 PM ET on February 2, 2025. 2. On Friday, January 31, 2025, a Federal Court issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) directing Federal grant-making agencies, including the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), to"..not pause, freeze, impede, block, cancel, or terminate... awards and obligations." What is NSF doing to comply with this TRO? NSF has restored access to the ACM$ system as of 12:00 PM ET on February 2, 2025 and is in compliance with the TRO.
The National Science foundation has just updated their FAQ to say they are complying with the court order and has restored access to funds and the ACM$ platform new.nsf.gov/executive-or...
I am one of the impacted NSF postdoc research fellows. My funds remain frozen. I rely on these funds as my salary and payment to aid in my research efforts. I am currently without the funds I use to pay my bills, health insurance, etc. and to move my research forward. #NSF #postdoc
“If the freeze is not stopped, I might lose my house."
Some NSF-funded postdocs are having trouble paying rent and credit card bills because their salaries were paused this week, even though the federal funding freeze memo was rescinded.

To update people on the NSF PRFB situation: despite the court challenge and rescinding the original memo, the NSF has continued to comply with the executive order. They have not communicated with us at all and our paychecks are still canceled indefinitely. I know people who cannot pay their rent.
To expand on this, right now ~200 postdoc fellows directly funded by NSF are locked out of their salary &research funds right before the first of the month. No doubt other NSF funded grads &postdocs are affected as well. All requests for funds put in before the freeze are slowly being cancelled

As of this AM, it is uncertain how NSF postdoc fellows will be impacted.
If you are on an NSF PRFB and not a member of the slack group, send me a message.
As a NSF PRFB postdoc it would be nice to know if I can pay rent next month (crazy, right). In the meantime, for no reason whatsoever, here are a few ‘wasteful’ things I’ve done as a postdoc: been a science pen pal, helped run a booth at a science center, mentored a high school lab intern.
