I feel so much anger and hopelessness. I want to avoid hearing about all the stupid and hateful things trump and his team are doing, but also don’t want to be ignorant like they are about so many things. Ugh this sucks and is so scary.🫣

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
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

FYI, I made a Luigi meme that was very funny and my wife won’t let me post it cause:
“people won’t understand that Zoolander male model assassin brainwashing reference cause that movie is nearly 25 years old and it’s just gonna end up putting you on a list”

Just know it was really funny.

I wish that we didn’t also have to suffer the consequences that Trump voters do during the next 4 years. 😩
