My current #NSF funded research examines ancient TB in ancient populations in South America to understand its evolutionary history & effects on communities. TB is the world's leading cause of death from a single infectious agent TODAY. #WithoutNSFsbe #SaveScience #WithoutNSF

#WithoutNSFsbe the next gen of scientists is at risk. #NSF supports grad training & research. Ex: my former student @marioapata.bsky.social who studied ancient pop history in N. Chile & how they adapted to high arsenic levels in H2O (still a world problem today!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4P6...

From the executive summary of the proposed NSF budget for FY27: Directorate for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences. In FY 2027, NSF will close-out this directorate. Continuing grants that align with Administration priorities, such as in behavioral and cognitive science, and all impacted employees will be transferred to other parts of the agency. The National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics will operate independently of the directorates and continue to be supported through the R&RA appropriation.

The FY27 budget request for NSF (see nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/FY-202...) would get rid of the Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE). #WithoutNSFsbe important research about communities, our past, economic impacts & future don't happen. #SaveNSF Contact your reps!

Why is the U.S. National Science Foundation important? Why is NSF SBE important?
