there aren't enough words to describe how horrible and damaging this will be to not only Eurasian and african settler history but most importantly how much Native history will be wiped away or commodified

The battle over Section 106 is existential for archaeology in the US. Proposed changes to the law aim to disenfranchise the public and hand complete control over our cultural heritage to big businesses with a track record of indifference. 🧪🏺

A Trump policy strategist said:

“Funds taken away from one university could eventually make their way to other schools whose behavior and ideology the White House approved of”.

This article is an incredibly accurate summary of what Trump is doing to US science, and utterly infuriating.

It doesn’t matter from which point you look at this, it is in every way extremely stupid, shortsighted, a total waste of human potential & destruction of opportunities to create serendipitous high impact and/or high yielding scientific discoveries!

the worst part about this is that a lot of the damage will be permanent

by the time we can turn the research funding back on a lot of folks will have unsurprisingly and not unreasonably decided that they should leave this area of research because it will never be reliable

what a huge waste
davidho.bsky.social David Ho @davidho.bsky.social · Sep 15
NSF has reduced the research budget for all atmospheric, ocean, and earth sciences by ~80%.

80%!

A lot of us will not be conducting new research or training new students for the foreseeable future.

Welp, there it is. The CDC is now officially manipulating data and their count of measles deaths in 2026 now stands at ZERO.

My understanding of reportable diseases is that the CDC would usually use a state health department’s determination as the final say.

The new CDC Director is failing us.
The CDC left two measles-associated Pa. deaths out of its latest count after RFK Jr. sparred with Gov. Shapiro
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has accused Pennsylvania of not cooperating with the CDC in its handling of a measles outbreak.

Dr Oz: "I don't want anyone in America concerned inappropriately. We don't know exactly what happened in PAG yet. We don't know if the children died from measles or had another condition that was already attacking them and they happened to get measles at the same time. We lived this during covid."

tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.
