Science needs your help! The NIST Atomic Spectroscopy group is at risk of being laid off. This team is a quiet lynchpin for so many corners of hard tech across medical, defense, energy, semiconductors, and indeed #QuantumComputing. This isn't political, it's an American interest

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

Read it.
