@benlockwood ooohhh, in my postdoc I was funded under an nsf grant focusing on dei work. This is such a great idea. Am going to work on this.

@benlockwood This is half of a great idea. I just find it massively disappointing that that they seem to only highlight attacks on funding/staffing and not the censorship of data and the official promulgation of lies (e.g. CDC pages with information now restored under court order but with a new disclaimer falsely claiming that acknowledgement of transgender people "denies biological reality").
