A drop from 26% funding to 7% funding success means that those limited people are going to be spending MORE time writing high quality proposals for lower yield. Whats this about "efficiency"?
These screenshots are coming *directly* from the Request to Congress document. Just raw, wanton destruction

We knew it would be bad, but this table, of the impacts of people involved in NSF research straight from the 2026 Request to Congress, is absolutely insane. This is a complete decimation of science and research across all levels. The 66% reduction in funds would yield a >75% reduction in people.

Humphreys, 1908 was onto something...
"The teeth of fossil fishes are indestructible, and their structure can be almost as clearly demonstrated as those of fishes of the present day, although they were buried in the mud of primeval oceans, in ages so remote as only to be reckoned by eons of time.

Happy 2025! I'm ringing in the new year by finally putting the wonderful set of DSDP/ODP books on my office shelves. I'm missing a few, which I hope to find with time, but these are precious resources, and I am so happy to have them here. Thanks to my advisor Dick Norris for saving these for me!
