Well, this is terrifying. Even if this is only referring to testing delivery vehicles, not nuclear devices themselves, leaving this sort of ambiguity is irresponsible.
The U.S. has not conducted a nuclear test in over 30 years. Experts say doing one now could make America less safe.
Trump says he wants to resume nuclear testing. Here's what that would mean

Devastating news. The Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium has lost its ability to apply for federal funding upon which it is structured. Without this, it cant exist. This threatens access to clinical trials for children.
These children need MORE funding and MORE trials, not less.
They deserve better

I wrote an op-ed on the world-class STEM research ecosystem in the United States, and how this ecosystem is now under attack on multiple fronts by the current administration: newsletter.ofthebrave.org/p/im-an-awar...
I’m an award-winning mathematician. Trump just cut my funding.
The “Mozart of Math” tried to stay out of politics. Then it came for his research.
