"only in the past 50 yrs did the German language stop being a requirement for chemistry degrees in the US. 20 yrs from now, what is going to be the language of science? Is it going to be English? I don’t know that for certain.” Sudip Parikh www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The good thing about science is that it’s true no matter what you believe. The bad thing about deadly diseases is they will affect you and your loved ones no matter your level of trust in science. Restoring public trust does not mean killing medicines even for those who still believe in science.

In Los Altos, CA💡Geneticist Sannidhi Menon got her start in a NSF-funded startup. Federally funded research makes these businesses possible. “Since most companies don’t invest in ideas this early in development, federal funds are crucial for discovery.”🧪🏠 www.losaltosonline.com/opinion/rece...

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

"Imagine the auto industry without 3D printing. NSF funded that. Artificial intelligence? NSF. MRI machines that help doctors diagnose you? NSF. Doppler radar technology that makes aviation safer by conquering wind shear? NSF. Duolingo‘s underlying programming? NSF. The internet itself? NSF."
