I have some visibility into what goes on at different science institutions in the US.
I sense a lot of fear. But the curious thing to see is how people just try to keep calm and carry on as if nothing was happening otherwise, while the government is killing the best parts of American science.
Who would have thought it was that easy to turn the 'land of the free ' around.
