There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

During my run today, I saw a turkey fighting its reflection on a car door, and I feel like it a metaphor for the US right now.

The lesson for universities is you may as well fight back. You'll lose the money either way. The only question is whether you keep your dignity.
Exclusive: Weeks after President Donald Trump’s administration ordered NIH to pull $250 million in biomedical research grants to Columbia University, the agency is freezing all remaining grant money owed to the university until further notice. scim.ag/4if5Rg1
NIH freezes all research grants to Columbia University
Amid negotiations with Trump, the university could risk losing nearly $700 million

Here, I explain how the February 14 "Dear Colleague" letter is a widely expansive distortion of the court’s ruling in SFFA. Institutional responses should remain focused on areas that the Supreme Court addressed and not expand to those clearly outside its purview.

Federal employee with a data role told me that a document was removed from employee access because it had the word "inclusion" in it.
As in, "inclusion of data in our estimates."

They do not want immigrants. OK, February 3, will be a day partially without immigrants, their family, or friends. Don't purchase anything and, if possible, do not work.

This is a constitutional crisis: the President doesn't have the power to cancel funds appropriated by Congress. Also, the math is insane; there is NO way to cut $4B/day by getting rid of "fraud". Cuts of that magnitude will dangerously undermine the core functions of government.

I appreciated the opportunity to share my thoughts & the initial findings from my team’s study on K12 #smartphone bans, #socialmedia & #digitalliteracy w/ @rcscience.bsky.social.
U.S. states are racing to ban smartphones in schools, even though the gathered evidence thus far suggests they yield few or no benefits. www.realclearscience.com/blog/2025/01...

I had a dream last night that my family unexpectedly had a dinner party with a lot of guests, and the only thing in our refrigerator was a single poblano pepper. I spent the dream frantically trying to figure out how I could cook and serve the one pepper to a dozen guests.
