BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency. Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

If you're still not convinced that the goal is to both get rich and make Americans dumb and compliant by forcing universities to close, may I interest you in the freezification of ALL Columbia University grants? www.science.org/content/arti...

🚨 BIG week for lawsuits against the NIH. Now 16 states have sued NIH and HHS for "engag[ing] in a concerted, and multi-pronged effort to disrupt NIH’s grants." "The result of these disruptions has been, in a word, devastating," they write. ag.ny.gov/press-releas...

For the outstanding diversity F31 awardees I’ve had the pleasure of working with, you are deserving of those awards. You are doing amazing work and I know you will continue to do so. I took my position to help trainees navigate funding & their careers and will continue to do so.

On days like this I remember there was time people when people applauded frontline responders of the pandemic every night. Public health workers, doctors, nurses etc.. How quickly we went from that to "public health bad, science bad, researchers bad and must be erased" is true mind blowing.

It's going to be a brutal day at the NIH. Never forget what the Republicans have done to science. I never want to hear that there is "bipartisan support for research" ever again. Congress could step in at any moment.

To state the obvious, I think what we are seeing today is the actual dismantling of the NIH. At the very least, this will render certain ICs completely non-functional, which obviously is the point. Buy, hey, study sections and council meetings are back on 🙄
