This is a really good point for those of you writing comments to OMB on the harm of the proposed funding rules changes. Make it specific, make it count! Avoid form letters, which can be batched.

The proposed OMB grant regs definitely warrant the concerns being expressed about the potential politicization of science - but trust me as someone who has managed federal science grant programs, the admin and process changes are very worrying all on their own as well.

Happy pride month. In 2024, NASA created a pride flag made of various space imagery. For weeks, it was the most-liked image on Bluesky.
Under the Trump administration, NASA was forced to delete it.

🚨 Carbon dioxide averaged 432.34 ppm in May 2026. This marks a new record high for the month of May and the annual seasonal peak.
10 years ago May averaged about 408 ppm.
This continued rise is driven by human emissions from fossil fuels, with climate change impacts intensifying around the world.

In between a bunch of meetings, catching up from being out of town for SFS, I also had two students start field work this week! They're mostly doing channel surveys prior to a big restoration project on a couple local streams. The big chop-and-drop on this one will be in Aug/Sept!
Last June, a striking image of a pride flag made up of NASA imagery became the most-liked post on the new social media network Bluesky, a post it held for 2 months. I spoke with its creator Rachel …

OMB must answer substantive comments. It can batch and dismiss form letters.
So make yours impossible to average away:
"[200.340] I'm in year 3 of a 5-year PhD funded by an R01. This rule means my advisor's grant can end before I defend."
One section. One fact. One consequence.
