White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

In Africa, Danger Slithers Through Homes and Fields Venomous snakes bite millions of people worldwide each year, killing at least 120,000. Many of them are poor people in rural areas of Africa without easy access to treatment.

Fantastic reporting @apoorvanyt.bsky.social on how snakes vie for the same land, water & sometimes food as people, with devastating consequences. Deforestation, human sprawl & climate change are exacerbating the problem, with five million bitten each year @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/01/06/h...
