"And this is where Communion—which I will say now, in order to get it out of the way, is a very bad and boring book, in ways that greatly exceed even the badness and boringness of Hillbilly Elegy—gets interesting, if not to read then certainly to think about."

By the time the full consequences of the administration’s actions become apparent, experts warn, it could be too late to fix. That’s because basic research funded by federal grants often takes decades to mature into the technology, medical treatments and consumer products that change American life.

Peep the word choice in the headline and subhead here.

A takeaway from this article is that network matters. That's trouble from students who didn't start from privilege.

Given the market right now, if a student reaches out to connect or ask for a referral, I hope you'll consider it.
