It’s pretty wild to live in a timeline where Harvard, the most conservative (with a small c) place I’ve ever worked, is now the front line or the resistance.

Trump Has Cut Science Funding to Its Lowest Level in Decades (Gift Article)
The lag in funding extends far beyond D.E.I. initiatives, affecting almost every area of science: chemistry, computing, engineering, materials and more.

This Shardblade-wielding Fused wants to hear *you* scream
In the Stonewalkers campaign, you'll face a new type of Fused. Chaotic & playfully reckless, Lilinum is a Devastating One with the power of Division. A graze of her claw can destroy nearly any object & the stone turns to ash beneath her feet

This is the kind of simple and direct message we need right now: long-term damage aside, this attack is going to very quickly make it even harder for people to have the jobs and medical care they need.
Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.
Excellent 🧵 on this evening's NIH announcement of a dramatic reduction in indirect rates for research institutions, which amounts to a generational restructuring of the US research and development ecosystem. These cuts are effective immediately, not just for new grants but for existing ones.

For the record- if this happens for NSF too (and I assume it will), it will devastate R1 universities.
