Federal science agencies are still not spending the funds provided to them by Congress fast enough. @NIH has awarded half as many new grants so far this fiscal year as compared to the historical average.

The public has a distorted view of science, because children are taught in school that science is a collection of firmly established truths. In fact, science is not a collection of truths. It is a continuing exploration of mysteries.

As someone shot down behind enemy lines, my heart goes out to the crew members and their loved ones who are waiting for answers. It's a relief one servicemember has been found and rescued, and I'm grateful for those risking their lives to look for the one who remains missing.

"But startup innovation does not happen in a vacuum. Many of the world-changing products developed
by startups originate in university labs." A proposed government royalty seizure would deter this public-private collaboration that brings new products to the commercial market

There is plenty of money in America. There is money for a new jet, a new ballroom, a bailout of Argentina, there’s money for a 50 k signing bonus for ICE Agents. There’s money - just none for your health care or your groceries.
