🔬🇺🇸💉 Science in America's on the ropes. KLG walked into the lab in '75, youngest guy there. Now KLG is the oldest, watching the floor fall out. Seventy-five years of triumphs, Nobel gold, lives saved. But politics cuts deep—billions lost, vaccines axed, trust shattered. The doom loop's here, and it ain't pretty.

Trump proposed cutting the agency's overall funding by 24% and slashing the agency's #science budget by nearly half.

Such moves have sparked protests by #scientists, #engineers and regular folks who care about space science and #exploration. For example, nearly 300 #NASA scientists recently signed the #VoyagerDeclaration, warning that the budget cuts, if enacted, would have devastating effects on #AmericanScience and could impact #AstronautSafety.

NASA losing nearly 4,000 employees to Trump administration's 'deferred resignation' program

The resignations will reduce NASA's workforce by more than 20%, to roughly 14,000.
