@knittingknots2 We are headed into dark times for scientific research in the US. Every federal agency that funds #science is taking enormous budget cuts, loss of expertise, and reorganization that in a span of weeks is tearing down what took decades to build. I am more than astonished by the wanton, unthinkable destruction. #Gobsmacked
