“Today, I am announcing my decision to step down as Director of the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), effective today. It has been an honor and privilege to serve as the Director of NSF for the last five years. I believe I have done all I can to advance the critical mission of the agency and feel that it is time for me to pass the baton to new leadership.

I came to NSF inspired by its mission, with a desire to serve the scientific community alongside the exceptional people of the agency. This has motivated me every day over the last five years. I have always believed that innovation and opportunities must be unleashed everywhere at speed and scale, thereby nurturing talent in every corner of our great nation. This will ensure we remain competitive and innovative on a global scale.

This is a pivotal moment for our nation in terms of global competitiveness. NSF is an extremely important investment to make U.S. scientific dominance a reality. We must not lose our competitive edge.

I am deeply grateful to both Presidents for the opportunity to serve our nation. I am also thankful for the strong bipartisan support of Congress and the tireless efforts of the amazing staff at NSF. I wish the very best for the agency and will always look proudly at the

Magnitude 3.2 earthquake strikes near Pisek, Písek District, Jihocesky kraj, Czechia

An earthquake of magnitude 3.2 occurred 36 minutes ago 16 km northwest of Pisek, Czechia, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter near Pisek, Písek District, Jihocesky kraj, Czechia, early evening on Thursday, April 24th, 2025, at 7:32 pm local time. Magnitude and other quake parameters can still change in the coming hours as the agency continues to process seismic data.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 3.2 as well. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.2.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Mirotice (pop. 1,100) located 2 km from the epicenter.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Blatna (pop. 6,700) located 9 km from the epicenter, Pisek (pop. 29,800) 16 km away, Strakonice (pop. 23,500) 19 km away, and Pribram (pop. 35,300) 30 km away. In Tabor (pop. 36,300, 47 km away), Klatovy (pop. 23,100, 52 km
