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.

@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.

@xtaldave no grants, no research departments in universities and little or no scientific progress. Does #tRump want the #USA to fall behind the rest of the world?
