How bad will it be? Catastrophic.
Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come.

I appreciate the deep reporting here but would add one thing: This isn’t just an attack on the federal workforce. It’s an assault on the entire country. We ALL rely on government services that Musk is paralyzing. The impact of his cuts will only grow more horrific.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.
