Whole milk yogurt is tasty and nutritious. The only reason to eat skim milk yogurt is to knock off some time in Purgatory by getting some penance in.

2. That may be the most stunning carefully posed political photograph I have ever seen. (Okay, yes, the Vanity Fair shoot, but that is its own beast.)
3. I want a renaissance in public architecture. There's no reason new buildings can't be as beautiful as this disused subway station.

funding lotteries have been waiting for this moment
This report in Nature on the costs of competing for & administering scientific grants is shocking: "In other words, European taxpayers will have spent more on the funding process than on the funding itself, and the scientific ecosystem has been drained." www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪
Point of no returns: researchers are crossing a threshold in the fight for funding
With so little money to go round, the costs of competing for grants can exceed what the grants are worth. When that happens, nobody wins.

Rather than using the passive voice ("subsidies were first expanded") in paragraph 3, it would have been helpful to remind readers that Congressional Democrats passed the American Rescue Plan in 2021, which expanded these subsidies, without a single Republican vote.
