I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

I got a request to do a review, and declined for reasons I mentioned to the program director, who certainly understood (they are thinking of leaving in any case).

Back in July I heard a panelist trying to strike a note of optimism: "we'll recover, in 20 years if not in 10."
