Hi all, I've been speaking with Jack about the impact of potential NIH and NSF cuts on CA scientists for @sfchronicle.com. If any trainees, grad students or post-docs are willing to talk with him about the impact of the administration's actions on science over the last few weeks, please reach out!
Working on a story for @sfchronicle.com about the administration's impacts to science, including #NIH and #NSF funding. Hoping to chat with early-career scientists, especially grad students and postdocs, about how you've been affected. Thanks!
