The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled.
This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives.

Some greater #Seattle area snow. Despite all the craziness going on in the US, it was nice to take a moment to just be present and pretend there’s calm in the world.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.
