Part 2 of STAT's 10-part look at how the Trump admin has gutted American science. 🩺 🧪 #MedSky #ScienceSky Grateful that we have @statnews.com taking this story on with their dedicated crew of medical science and #biotech journalists.
“The only reason I don’t have this funding is because my last name is Rodriguez.”

MOSAIC checked many of the boxes of the administration — but that didn't matter. It was terminated, and left grantees scrambling

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?

That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.
