I talked to a NOAA colleague yesterday who told me that 75% of the federal employees of his division have left and he’s worried about their ability to get work done even if Congress funds NOAA at some level. The devastation to science will be felt for generations.

If you’re not sure if you might have ME/CFS (say, you haven’t been feeling right since you had a case of Covid), luckily the diagnostic criteria are clear enough they can be summarized in one tweet!
US Diagnostic criteria:
1. Fatigue unrelieved by rest leading to functional impairment lasting at least 6 mo
2. Post-exertional malaise (notable, sometimes dramatic worsening of symptoms after physical/cognitive activity)
3. Unrefreshing sleep
4. Cognitive impairment and/or orthostatic intolerance
