The US government had the greatest collection of knowledge -- human and archived -- in the history of the world. What Trump is doing ... it's like watching the Library of Alexandria on fire.
The U.S. is facing an unprecedented dismantling of science, research, and higher education.
As scientists are fired + research is frozen, so too are all the resources and outcomes that would have benefited society.
