If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.

The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

This is deeply concerning. If funding decisions are being influenced by political biases against terms like activism, diversity, or cultural heritage, it signals a dangerous erosion of academic freedom. Science should be driven by inquiry, not censorship.
