isn't it cool that we had a whole system for "sustaining funding for US agriculture while also preventing death by starvation among the world's poor." looks like this was coordinated through a USDA-USAID partnership, so it's gone, courtesy of a particular billionaire.

I was under the impression that pre proposals at DEB (and maybe IOS) were scrapped after correlation between pre proposal and proposal scores or ranks was weak.

Certainly scientists understand the significance of getting NIH or NSF funding, but the general public doesn't. Federal funding is the silent work horse of global science, usually only mentioned as a string of numbers in the acknowledgements section.

To explain what is great about America compared to other countries, the pavilion emphasized:
1) US universities and the Fulbright program
2) leadership in science, especially biotech and pharma, led by NSF and NIH
3) diversity and being welcoming to all
4) NASA/space exploration

I was gobsmacked by this article, its revisionism, its multiple false equivalencies, the uncritical acceptance of disingenuous 'just asking questions' arguments...
