I don’t know who needs to hear this, but we are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.

"We're in negotiations to end the war"
"We will bomb the living shit out of you if you don't comply"
"We're thinking about asking other countries to help pay for your destruction"
"We don't need no stinking help"

New platypus just dropped

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't received any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since grants are typically for 3 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.

In my 25-year career, I’ve never NOT had funding. I typically have 4 to 8 grants, which you need if you’re running an observation science program and have a technician, students, and postdocs.
