Studies estimate that for every $1 the U.S. government spends on #NASA, the #economy is boosted by $7-$14. NASA is a proven positive revenue stream & these cuts are fiscal malpractice. The loss to institutional knowledge will be devastating.

How the United States became a science superpower — and how quickly it could crumble
US global dominance in science was no accident, but a product of a far-seeing partnership between public and private sectors to boost innovation and economic growth.

Dear US colleagues,
In response to the Trump administration, my university @univ-amu.fr is setting up a new program dedicated to welcoming American scientists wishing to pursue their work in France.
There are several M$ in the budget.

The chaos and confusion of the Trump administration's science policy is taking its toll on early career researchers. Some prospective PhD students I spoke with have had informal offers rescinded as universities reduce or outright halt their programs.

I dreamed of a career at NASA as a little girl. I worked for and attained a PhD and became an international expert in my field. Finally 2 years ago I was hired by NASA in an extremely competitive process. According to this I will be among the first to go in a RIF.
