A senior NIH administrator had some stark words about the coming layoffs: "NIH will cease to function after the RIFs, it will take months to get things back online administratively."
How will the NIH fare under the HHS reorg?
Memoli touted at a meeting today that NIH will be the least affected of any agency in HHS. ~1200 RIFs will come tomorrow - mostly among HR, comms, procurement, legislative staff.
This is part of the effort to consolidate power away from individual ICs.

If you are not worried too much about climate change perhaps you should consider high CO2 levels.
Those high #CO2 levels in the atmosphere translate to high levels in your blood.
Acidification of your blood and body cannot be too good, I would think.
