Welcome to the winning intersection where everything we need for the lab costs more and we have less funding to buy it. Totally sustainable 🧐

200% tariff will be great for the "Champagne businesses in the U.S." 🤔Time to step it up Champaign, IL. They take away our funding and our alcohol and tell us we are not allowed to protest?! Where did they get this checklist of how to specifically piss off every scientist in the country?
