The appropriation bill was signed on January 23, more than a month ago.

My sense is that investigators and institutions are generally surviving on continuing funding and reserves for the moment, but they become more vulnerable to serious, perhaps even largely irreversible, damage with each passing day/week/month.

But everything will totally go back to normal because your university cut a deal and made a payoff. Right? Right??

Hi.

This isn’t our ~official statement~ but it felt irresponsible to carry on with all our planned communications about March 7th without acknowledging that Trump unilaterally started a war with Iran.
