Update. The American Physical Society (#APS, @apsphysics) is running a survey on the impact of cuts to US science #funding. Please take it if you're affected or likely to be affected.
apsphysics.fillout.com/t/6ESUv

"This survey collects stories showcasing the transformative positive impact of #NSF, #NIST, #DOE, #NASA, and #DOD-funded research and programs as well as what would be lost if support for basic research evaporates. You can document your experiences and share how recent executive actions have impacted you. Individual stories will be only be used publicly with permission or when fully anonymized."

#Boulder #NIST fam, I am so sorry that the leopards are coming for your faces.

NIST serves an incredibly varied set of important functions to our nation.

Like so many travesties that happened this week, people will suffer as a result of this now, and well into the future.

WIRED · The National Institute of Standards and Technology Braces for Mass FiringsBy Will Knight

5 years ago I had an offer to start a research group at #NIST * but I went a different path. It wasn’t an easy decision then, and one of the very important pros was the prospect of stability.

The main reason that prospect was not enough, was because NIST is part of the department of commerce, with what seemed at the time, a more direct mandate from the executive branch.

This was at the end of Trump 1.0 and I had diminishing hope in a meaningful change of government.

I was worried that the stability of a research group at NIST was less assured than other federal agencies. I guess I was lucky it wasn’t any other org that, as it turns out, is just as vulnerable to those who wish to plunder the American public.

* national institute of standards and technology for my non USA homies

@vxo @wxcafe EXACTLY THAT!

  • #NIST #StandardMaterials are legally not #food for the sole reasons of having neither a certified #clean production cycle nor do they confirm to #FoodSafety standards like marking allergens and having an expiration date or product tracking to identify and recall contaminated batches...

  • The "Forbidden Peanut Butter" is not only the most expensive you can order that isn't made to order but it also doesn't really taste...

It's sole existance is for labs to i.e. test laundry detergent effectivity in a scientific (=repeatable) setting...
