"Cuts of 30 to 70% are rumored at USDA next week. NIH & NSF funding is being destroyed & the agencies themselves facing cuts.
About 3,500 nonfederal entomologists depend on these agencies. We're🚨risking research that protects #ecosystems & #foodsecurity."

New shitty reality:
Every time #NCBI is #down you wonder whether it's permanent or not.
Just now the whole nih.gov is not resolving from two different locations I have access to.

The 80-year-old partnership between the federal government and research institutions has made the U.S. the leader in scientific innovation. But now a proposed funding cut threatens the arrangement.
Although it is framed as a simple cost-cutting move, it is part of aggressive actions from the administration that have shaken the scientific and medical establishment.

The NIH panel on postdocs proposes to shorten the eligibility period for K99 to 3 years down from 5 years.
I understand their motivation is reducing the training period for successful faculty, but I think an unintended consequence is it is going to reduce scientific innovation. If you have to show you are on a successful trajectory that early, people are going to choose safe projects.
