Tough week to work at the #NSF. More terminated awards, upcoming reductions, new processing procedures, and a budget request that cuts our budget by over 55%.

But please believe me when I say that everyone at the agency is doing everything they can to keep funding and advancing #science and #STEMeducation. It's just really slow and very difficult right now.

Over a leafy green background, text says: "Teach About Nature with Film." In the bottom right corner there are film posters for Jane and Whale Rider.

It’s important, when you’re making graphs, to think about the story you want to tell with the data, and what type of graph, and what features of the graph, will help you tell that story.

Likewise, when you’re looking at someone else’s graph, we all need to apply that critical data literacy and look at the scale on the y axis, as well as checking the labels, finding out the origin of the data, and considering whether the graph is accurate, a valid way to display that data, and what story it might be trying to tell you.

A screen shot of a graph labelled XBTUSD Curncy, with the y axis starting at 80,000. The graph starts at close to 83000 and wanders up and down for a bit, before trending downwards and then dropping sharply to 80000 right at the end. The caption says "Graph showing Bitcoin plunging."

🐵 Happy Birthday, Dr. Jane Goodall! Born on this day in 1934, Jane Goodall is an anthropologist, primatologist, and conservationist. She is considered the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees. Her work revolutionized our understanding of what it means to be human and proved that women could be successful as scientists in a world previously dominated by men. 1/2
