David HoI 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.

Don’t forget to charge and update it, then let us know what you find! https://efforg.github.io/rayhunter/support-feedback-community.html
fuzzyfuzzyfungus@cR0w I've empirically verified that "I'd have to expect better for you to disappoint me" generates an awkward face from your MS rep.
