Trump fired all 24 members of the National Science Board at the end of April. In this bite we explore what this means for the NSF, science funding, and, more broadly, the American government, with a perspective from Dr. Keivan Stassun, an astrophysicist at Vanderbilt and a recent NSB member.
Today’s astrobite looks at how we can use observations of gamma-rays and neutrinos to test our models of cosmic rays.
Today’s astrobite looks at some interesting new detections of complex organic molecules by a protostar in the Large Magellanic Cloud.
In today’s bite, I share what I learned about science funding in the United States’ history and future in a science policy course I took last spring.
Today’s bite explores if we’ll be able to find a star that has formed from the gas enriched by only one stellar predecessor, an interesting way to probe what’s actually happening in stellar nucleosynthesis.
