people need to internalize, very quickly, that federal research grants are a hypercompetitive contracting process not charity, and that what Uncle Sam gets in return for that money is American dominance in the future

Destroying capacity at the NSF, NIH, NASA, DOE, etc. in the name of “efficiency” is like burning all of your money because you have a nice house & car & are healthy. Our science agencies have provided tremendous benefits for society and we need them at top strength to continue to do so.

I am seeing so much about the imminent "brain drain" and idk but to me the problem of losing what, hundreds? maaaaybe 1000s of scientists who have the ability to move abroad is going to be absolutely dwarfed by that of the hundreds of thousands of scientists in the US who will just be unemployed.

No a serious news organization should quote a right wing think tank spokesperson claiming that this is normal without fact checking that lie. Shamefully dishonest reporting by @npr.

For what it’s worth, about 150,000 federal employees retire each year, so Trump/Musk’s “buyout” yielding 75,000 — according to dubious reports — means it’s less than the number of employees who were presumably set to leave between now and September 30th anyway. Great work, guys.
