Added an axolotl to his model organism collection.

Pupper is pleased. The axolotl both has crinkle and squeaking features. He wishes to find out if he gets a limb off, will it regenerate.

9. I simply cannot ethically hire anyone on federal funds under these new conditions, and I will not do so going forward.

That hamstrings my research, but worse it prevents the development of brilliant, talented researchers like my former students who are professors, startup founders, and more.

7. Training, meanwhile, becomes impossible.

In the US, earning a PhD takes 5 years or more. Every student I have ever trained has been supported on federal funds that they were directly awarded or from grants that I won.

If I can't guarantee to pay, I can't take students. It's that simple.
