If the block on the Federal Register isn’t removed in the next few months, I fear a majority of labs will close within a year. This small procedural wrench has the power to kill US science indefinitely, losing an entire generation of discovery and innovation.

Without those grants, my lab must close within a year.
And so the purge of scientific research in the US continues

We, the taxpayers, ALREADY PAID FOR THESE TESTS. They are OWNED by the American people.
The public outrage when this story dropped earlier has changed their minds - the tests will not, for now, be destroyed, and the website remains up.
But for how long?
