A right-wing dark money group backed by some big names has launched a new public health “academy” complete with its own medical “journal.” The editorial board of this new publication is stacked with COVID contrarians and misinformation spreaders. www.importantcontext.news/p/a-new-acad...

One impact of the NSF freeze: They fund the small nonprofit, EarthScope, that manages seismic and GPS stations used worldwide to detect and warn of earthquakes and navigate autonomous vehicles. EarthScope can maybe make payroll this week. A prolonged freeze could see stations fail.

Watching with interest. Many friends affected, informed they should stop work immediately. For freelancers that means no pay. Not to mention project partners who depend on these funds for live saving interventions. US risks losing last scrap of credibility in the Arab world. China will benefit.
