One thing that really stands out in this tranche is how the government is terminating grants because they don't like the people doing the research. Look at this word cloud of research topics. These are the things all those researchers funded by diversity supplements are studying. Seems important!

"Dolphins call each other’s signature whistles if they get separated. Once, we played one of those whistles while the pair was still together. They responded with a totally different whistle. We call it the 'WTF whistle,' because it really did seem like that’s what they were asking." @science.org

The U.S. is facing an unprecedented dismantling of science, research, and higher education. As scientists are fired + research is frozen, so too are all the resources and outcomes that would have benefited society. In their own words, the stories of scientists whose work has been abruptly ended:
