Having served on an advisory committee, I think this is utterly stupid. ww2.aip.org/.../agencies.... The idea that the government wouldn't want advice from teams of experts in terms of making decisions is completely bizarre. The cost is pretty minimal - I wasn't paid additional money, for example.

The sPHENIX Experiment gave me a new coffee cup to celebrate being run coordinator. 16 days, 20 hours until the 4K cool down begins!

I personally think protests are important, not because the administration cares as it does not, but to let people they are not alone and we can work together. If we do nothing, there will be no science left in 4 years.

Shifts for sPHENIX have started! A culmination of over a decade of work by hundreds of scientists, engineers, technicians, and support staff. Just under 33 days for the cool down, and then collisions.

It's hard for me to believe that anyone would want this. What is happening to basic science is a problem, which we will feel later. However, I would imagine that everyone knows that rogue nuclear weapons, or the decay of our own nuclear weapons is problematic.

It's great to see that all this effort to kill science has really brought down the price of eggs.... (Data from: fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU00...)
