What words are putting science in the crosshairs of Trump's orders?
Briefly

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is currently reviewing thousands of active science research projects to ensure compliance with executive orders from President Trump that restrict recognition of gender diversity and limit diversity initiatives. This audit is triggered by flagged keywords, such as 'equity' and 'diversity', found in ongoing research. Scientists have been alerted to cease any activities associated with diversity, equity, and inclusion that contradict federal regulations. The move reflects a strategic shift that intertwines science with current political narratives, potentially undermining independent research efforts.
