This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%.

When we were grad students in the hist. of science, Roger Turner developed a concept that we need: a category of science called “infrastructural sciences”
They’re operated by the state, and since the administration is working to break as many as possible, we should think about what they are. 🧵
