There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

So devastating. These programs helped train a wide variety of individuals and were the path forward for many more.
I have learned that the directors of ALL: PREP, IMSD, and IRACDA programs across the country have received similar cancelation notices. This follows previous cancellations of MARC and URISE programs. This further dismantles the mechanisms that enable scientific training opportunities for SO MANY.
You want to know the best way to show thanks for chairing a study section? Early the next morning sent them a termination notice for their PREP training grant.

A story worth sharing today. My undergrad and hometown are both small towns whose local economy and environment would be hard hit if the nearby colleges closed. Colleges’ impact on small towns is immense. Keeping them alive helps keep small towns alive too.
