🚨Report your NSF grant terminations! 🚨

We are starting to collect information on NSF grant terminations to create a shared resource as we have for NIH. The more information we collect, the more we can organize, advocate, and fight back!

Please share widely!

Action alert! There is work afoot to eliminate the #CDC office of #HIV Prevention, gutting decades of bipartisan efforts to end the epidemic in the U.S. It's the only agency with the capacity for this work - no one else works on HIV prevention at scale.

Call your reps! Call script in the link below.

Anyone who has done a bulk dump of their Meta account data: how long does it take to show up? I imagine the queues may be quite backed up right now.

Ah, update: I thought I would get an email when it was done, but did not. Logged into the account center the next day and it was ready. Others reported a few hours.

@alxsim Perhaps @sortee?

@alxsim Though I second the notion that some overhead is inevitable. Asking a nonprofit or society to take this on is basically asking them to absorb that. 15% is pretty standard.

Got a little PR into rclone that lets you sync Google Documents to markdown locally and back, e.g.:

rclone sync googledrive:folder . --drive-export-formats md

rclone sync . googledrive:folder --drive-import-formats md

rclone bisync googledrive:folder . --drive-import-formats md --drive-export-formats md

Hopefully it's a good way to share markdown docs for easy collaboration and then bring them back for committing to a repo.
