To return to specifics, this thread is about the NIH- hadn't they been funding gain of function research on coronaviruses? It would be hard to claim that cleaning house there is national suicide.
- a-dub 2y agoif you have a growth mindset, it certainly is. they're making the united states a less attractive place for the tippy-top of stem research on a world class level. serious people have choices, they can and will choose elsewhere if things here are a mess.

- a-dub 2y agoto return to specifics, this thread is about the NIH. cutting indirects overnight to 15% with zero warning is vandalism. the united states was a world leader (this means it produced and attracted the best) in this area, hopefully it will remain so despite this vandalism. with respect to common core, as far as i can tell, nationalization efforts were initiated under bush ii, and then driven over the past two decades by institutions, states and federal support. some states follow it, others do not. i don't see your point.
