Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.
I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

Is off to a galloping start..
This is going to send America decades behind other places down the road, where we are going to have to play intensive catch up.
making America great.
We are so fucked.
Trump just cut your legs off.
The race will go on, new leaders will emerge. Europe will be a contender.
(Not the UK because we cut our legs off at the behest of billionaires in 2016.)
It is so ironic that the latest, most innovative technology is being used to send us back 100 years.
Greed: Get it done by this date
Reason: We're just not ready
G: Well get ready
R: Rushing will cause problems
G: Just get it done. I pay the bills
R: Ok, but...
G: What happened?
R: We derailed and it'll now take an extra 6 months to fix
G: Idiots! Get it fixed in 2
And so unnecessary.
for no good reason other than malice & dysfunction
As we were forewarned, the zone is being flooded & no one knows what to focus on amid all the chaos.
We are already exhausted on Day 3.
They cannot fathom capitalism fails in the face of world politics.
These folks send out a daily recap of what’s happening in infectious diseases. Good to hear their voices every day. Especially now.
Step in and set up a way to fund scientists.
Somewhere.

lost from the institution
or lost from the state
or lost from the country
or lost from the field
and for young researchers, it may go directly to the last
All the profit is in advanced research and development, which relies on basic research.
At least by shutting down the functions that rely very heavily on foreign talent he gets to mask the effects of his racist agendas.
They intend to reduce the populace to peasant brined morons so that we'll have no choice but to accept abject serfdom.
I figure they are, but am asking.
Also, do they contribute research to viruses?
Sure feels like his gutting programs of all sorts will certainly leave us looking even more stupid as the years go on without them.
Shit, where will the end?
😡
A federal medical marijuana prescription for marinol restarted stomach motility.
Who is going to díé bc of this shutdown?
Culling/herd...let the weak people die, and absorb all the belongings of the (now-dead) people. Makes sense...'let strong people survive so they can work, let useless weak people die.'
Not untypical at all...those that don't labor hard enough...just shoot 'em ☹️
We are down the rabbit hole.
The authoritarian uses that class resentment as a weapon.
Upper middle class people and lower middle class people are not living in the same reality.
The landlords cashing in on this windfall are their upper middle class neighbors/ overlords.
America about to have another Dark Age
The right is fucking sadistic.
I am not sure if that is the good news or the bad news looking at the for profit killing of Americans with drugs.
Europe and Canada are quite welcoming.
Scandinavian countries have excellent education systems, social security and work-life balance.
It’s profoundly infuriating that the Democratic party doesn’t seem to be calling any attention to any of this whatsoever. They may have no power in Congress currently, but they’re not going to get it back by being silent.
Right now, I depend nearly solely on the input of others.
Your input, while welcome, confirms my worst fears.
Without it, we'd likely still be trying to figure out if a vaccine is even possible let alone be working on it.
All that work could come to a screeching halt.
The #6 research university in the country.
This will send medical research in the US fleeing into the arms of maximum profit. Get ready for advances in erection meds.

Yeah, this will help the economy
Yeah, this will help disrupt academia…which is what MAGA voters wanted…no cancer research 🧐 …no medical research😳…no one to respond to African pandemics 🚒…no one to respond to Asian epidemics 💊
Yeah that’s great for America😢
Dismantle the government
