I had some wakefulness in the early morning hours and I had an epiphany: all of these things like freezing NIH, stifling CDC, and the hiring freeze vis-a-vis the VA, they're all about having to beg to reverse course, and therefore owing the administration something.
We're already seeing it.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.
I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

If you’ve not heard about Met HD Live, look it up.
You get to see opera from The Metropolitan Opera House in NYC, live-streamed in HD to a theater near you (hopefully).
Today’s Tosca was breath-takingly phenomenal. Even the seasoned opera-queens were in awe of the performance.
