A lot of NASA is already at a standstill. Grant review panels aren’t meeting, funding proposal calls are being postponed indefinitely or not even mentioned. If this budget passes, it’s the end of NASA as a major scientific institution; there’s no way to continue on ~40% of the funding it gets now. 🧪
NASA’s science programs are facing what experts are calling an “extinction-level event” under Trump’s proposed budget.
From climate monitoring to planetary research, entire fields of discovery are on the chopping block.

Have you ever computed inflaton decay via Boltzmann eqs and thought, ‘Yep, I nailed reheating’? 💅Well… think again. The Universe had other plans. This invited Nucl. Phys. B special issue with N. Bernal & B. Barman is your cosmic reality check.
