The massive list of suspended UCLA grants came out today: 300 NSF and 500 NIH grants. I am miraculously not on the list, but this is devastating. Science will be lost, progress will be frozen, people will lose jobs, and careers in science and medicine are being destroyed. This is not ok.

Aside from the obvious, here’s another reason not to cut food stamps: “Having the means to buy nutritious food is important for preventing cognitive decline. This study suggested that SNAP participation, or any nutritional support program can delay the onset of cognitive impairment or dementia.”
Food assistance benefits are tied to slower cognitive decline in older adults, new study suggests | CNN
For older adults who may otherwise be food-insecure, participating in food assistance benefits may be associated with a slower cognitive decline as they age, according to new research.
