NEW: NSF will be kicked out of their building. Announcement will be made tomorrow by HUD Sec. and Governor of VA. HUD will take over the NSF building over the next two years.

NSF staffer: "There is no planning for NSF, no identified future location, appropriation for a new building or a move."

RIP, WaPo. Just the saddest screenshots to get. An absolute abandonment of the principles of accountability of the powerful, justice, democracy, human rights, and accurate information that previously animated the section in favor of a white male billionaire’s self-interested agenda.

As I conclude my time at JILA, I realise the only visual I have made that my postdoc advisor hung up was this meme I made on my phone after the Nobel last year:

Pro tip: when you develop a new quantum algorithm, check whether known classical algorithms outperform it.
