It's many departments, including physics, including education. This specific article is part of a series, this part is about the National Institutes of Health where the cuts are so deep that: People inside the Division of Intramural Research (the in-house research groups) have been told in so many words that "the vast majority of our legitimate DIR ordering needs are not currently able to be fulfilled". So they're having to triage and try to get spending done that directly impacts human and animal safety and ongoing clinical research. they are literally working out what to save that will kill the fewest numbers of people, animals, and programs down the line. > the political cancer eating them alive. This sounds hyperbolic, perhaps sourced from a Fox News or Tucker Carlson take on DEI in the sciences.
