Katie Mack's considerations are an urgent warning about the need to protect and enhance scientific research. The current cuts are not just a "temporary" setback, but a profound damage that risks compromising human progress for decades.

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost
I worry that not enough of a big deal is being made about how long-term the devastation of these budget cuts to our scientific and health agencies will be, beyond the absolute ruin they will cause in the acute period.
