I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

You know who did read the grants that are being terminated? At least three experts in the field from around the country read them really carefully, and they and a whole panel of dozens of scientists rated them among the top 10% of applications.
Apparently we're funding based on word searches now.

One thing that must be stressed here: Nobody who terminated these grants actually read them. This is boilerplate language. We KNOW that from nature's reporting on the subject:

This language instead is legitimizing a 4Chan-derived whining with the force of law.

So let me get this straight—Trump’s nat sec adviser added a JOURNALIST to a group chat on classified Yemen strike plans?? This isn’t a group project, it’s national security.
They screamed “Lock her up” over emails, but leaking war plans is cool now? Make it make sense.

NIH cuts are getting the press, but VA research is getting slashed too. What do we lose when VA research goes away? Here's some greatest hits: The nicotine patch, invention of the cardiac pacemaker, first successful liver transplant, development of the CAT/CT scan

1/ I am seeing a lot of comments on the slashing of NIH support along the lines of “universities should just spend their huge endowments.”
I’m the last person to cheer on the institutional stratification rising endowments have contributed to. But let me explain why this is not a solution.
