We should be throwing up lab space in places like Cambridge and Tatton Park at a vast rate.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
