Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

I intend to protect those rights and ensure our state laws are followed.

practicing is considered to be a form of cheating in most sports, as well it should be. take a look at the last 20 or 25 nba champions. i guarantee you that the vast majority of them held practice almost every single day. it's destroying the sports we love
