I'm an atmospheric, analytical, environmental, physical chemist at Aerodyne that loves outdoors and anything sci fi. These are my opinions and not my work.

So losing 50% of my research funding bc my research "doesn't align" with current administration "beliefs" about climate change and working with underrepresented communities. How is this making things good?

@CubsFanHan Was hoping it was going to be the same speech from rebels but liked how they still called to that moment after she was evacuated

Valuable insight about what these grant eliminations mean. Even if the subject being studied may not be something an individual agrees with, does not mean it's not helping others and termination isn't impacting numerous lives.

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They were in tears.

Budgets cut. RFJK has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak.

They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent.

Public health is dying.

If this is how we're now treating Canadians, I can't even fathom how we're treating other nationalities (https://t.co/gE8SJOXHkQ).
Why would any one want to come to us for vacation, work, school, etc? What will the local and national damage to economy due to this? Humanity?
