Seven years ago, Pauline Shanks Kaurin left a good job as a tenured professor, uprooted her family, and moved to teach military ethics at the Naval War College. Now she's leaving in protest of policies she can't support and that make her job impossible.

Foster kittens 27 - 32 are 5 weeks old and are now running around and playing in my office.
33 - 35 are in quarantine in the back bedroom. Two are 6 weeks old, one is 5 weeks.
36 and 37 are 4 weeks old and are horribly sick with an URI, so they are in a super strict quarantine in a bathroom.

The Minerva Research Initiative has funded my research on how terrorist groups adapt, how they foster malevolent creativity in tactics, how they target religious converts for recruitment, and many other areas. Through this I’ve been able to cultivate the next generation of terrorism scholars.
NEW: The Minerva Research Initiative, established by the Pentagon to fund social science relevant to national security, is being gutted. Dozens of researchers studying threats from extremist groups, misinformation or climate change have received notices that their grants are being terminated.
