#WithoutNSF, there would be no @VRubinObs .

And a lot less of the science it will do, from near-Earth objects to cosmology.

Explore the first imagery from NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory, revealed on June 23, 2025.

Green Bank has also been able to run its REU program this year and to do necessary maintenance.

Reminder:

#WithoutNSF, there would be no National Radio Astronomy Observatory and no Green Bank Telescope.

#WithoutNSF, we would not have had the Magic School Bus TV show.

(Joanna Cole did the books herself.)

#WithoutNSF, it will be more challenging to train the next generation of scientists & entrepreneurs in #agriculture #Soil #Crop #plant #biology #genomics #teamscience & more; #NSF supports training of students & that is in our national interest #SupportNSF #SaveNSF #AgSky #AcademicSky #highered 🌾🌱🧪

2002. A cybercafe in Times Square, NYC. I apply for an NSF grad fellowship while teaching 10th grade biology and renting a single room in a brownstone with no Internet. I get it, letting me study & research frog immunity without having to support myself as a teaching assistant. #WithoutNSF [thread]

If you're curious why US scientists are so upset about National Science Foundation grant cuts, check out #WithoutNSF

Depressing? Yes. Informative? Also yes. To put it succinctly, the US would not be a world leader in science without funding from NSF

#WithoutNSF, things would be a lot harder for science museums.

Require that Congress fund NSF and other science agencies as recommended by the National Academies, United States.
