"NSF faces radical shake-up as officials abolish its 37 divisions."
science.org/content/article/ex
(#paywalled)

"The National Science Foundation (#NSF), already battered by White House directives and staff reductions, is plunging into deeper turmoil…Staff were told [yesterday] that the agency’s 37 divisions —across all eight NSF directorates— are being abolished and the number of programs within those divisions will be drastically reduced…The consolidation appears to be driven in part by President Donald Trump’s proposal to cut the agency’s $9 billion budget by 55%...NSF watchers fear that a smaller, restructured agency could be more vulnerable to pressure from the White House to fund research that suits its ideological bent."

@jens and I think that is really sad cuz it shouldn't be #paywalled that way.

It's not like NTSB or EuroNCAP where there's some physical evidence to inspect for experts who may need to ge close in person and request further tests on the spot.

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@jens@social.finkhaeuser.de I think it's really sad for an organization like #IETF to still cling to in-person meetings. - I'd be more understanding it they were like EuroNCAP or OSHA, NTSB or other orgs that have to deal with physical safety and may include testing as part of their meetings with certified professionals assessing everything to quickly allow decisions. I mean none of the folks at IETF's meetings are *"#TechIlliterates"* and it's not as if group videocalling and screensharing is something absurdly expensive nor that these meetings require actual privacy as per sensitivity of their nature. - Aslo with the current regime in place the USA is a *"can't enter"* for more people than ever before, as neither ESTA nor a Visa guarantees one is being let in.
