π¨βURGENT ADVOCACY ACTION. We can pause a harmful rewrite of science grant rules, but only if enough of us speak up THIS WEEK. π¨
OMB proposed a rewrite of the rules that govern how research grants get administered. That rewrite would give political appointees more power to override which projects get funded, based on alignment with administration priorities rather than scientific merit. It was set to take effect October 1.
The House already passed its own funding bill (a "clean" CR) that does nothing to stop this. But this weekend, the Senate Appropriations Committee, led by Republican Chair Susan Collins and Democratic Vice Chair Patty Murray, released a bipartisan bill that would fund the government through December 11 AND pause that OMB rule until then.
This is the best shot we have before senators leave for August recess. If it doesn't pass this week, we lose momentum and the harmful rule could move forward unchecked.
We made it easy to make your voices heard. Send your letter here: planetary.org/advocacy-actioβ¦

Sometimes reality is crazier than science fiction. This is the international space station, carrying humans, passing between my spot in the desert and the moon.
This video was slowed down significantly, as the ISS was only in my field of view for about 150ms
