Where did you read this?

(Not OP) They're from this .csv table of cancelled NSF grants posted on HN,

When analyzing a CSV like this, one must remember we got PCR - fundamental for every advance in genetics in the last 50 years or so - from a $80k research grant into the pretty hot spring colors in Yellowstone.

You can read the list of canceled grants here https://grant-watch.us/nsf-data.html

this user has been making this claim repeatedly for months -- and if you look at the source data they used, the titles are fabricated and non-representative.

They are either a GenAI disinformation bot, or they're a human who is so dedicated to their dishonesty as to be impossible to distinguish from such a bot.

I am not a bot, you can search the list of cancelled grants on this site: https://grant-watch.us/nsf-data.html

Just take a minute and read some of them, almost every single one is DEI related. It’s pure racism.

The titles I pasted into my post I copied directly from the published list of grants, it’s not like I made up those weirdly specific names. You can search for them yourself.

You clearly did not look at the proposed cuts for the coming years---it guts the NSF.
