The lag in funding extends far beyond D.E.I. initiatives, affecting almost every area of science: chemistry, computing, engineering, materials and more.

NASA is also looking at massive science cuts.

    Does that chart account for partial cuts that destroy ongoing studies? The kind that would have to be completely scrapped because one element is lost. Even worse, if all replication or even repetition were cut, then we are throwing out all of science.

    I hope Europe is able to step up like they were talking a couple weeks ago.

    I think it’s a little bit humorous that republicans think we’ll actually get some of that money via no taxes at all or stimulus checks lmao.

      They don’t think that, but they think it’s humorous that you still believe that.

      The politicians, anyway. The voters are probably still fooled.
