Trump hits NIH with ‘devastating’ freezes on meetings, travel, communications, and hiring.
US science is going to suffer, by the looks.
"Panels that were scheduled to review grant proposals also received eleventh-hour word that they wouldn’t be meeting."
No grant reviews, no grants.
No grants, no science.
Nature's coverage of this story:
"In an unprecedented move, research-grant reviews have been suspended indefinitely at the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research."
@xtaldave this does not bode well.
@emkingma it really is not good.
@xtaldave well, why pay for something you don’t believe in i guess. The moratorium on communications is particularly fucked.
@xtaldave No science, no future.
Dear scientists, I would perfectly understand and appreciate if you might consider continuing your research in Europe.
