One time, and I promise this is true, Bush gave a flip remark about violence while playing golf and it became a defining moment for his legacy. This president shrugging about a war he started while overseas at a golf tournament that is lining his own pockets won’t be remembered in two weeks.

The new NSF letter is catastrophic. It shifts NSF towards applied research (which is NOT NSF’s mandate), will funnel money to business and away from universities, promises to push even more money to AI, and policital appointments can overrule entire panels. Also, golden tickets overruling everything

The "special white house projects" are tech-centered things like AI where Trump is able to solicit bribes in exchange for "grants". This policy is just crime, like so much of what Republicans do.

Relatedly: the vast majority of universities are not Ivy League or elite small liberal arts schools, and we spend way too much time talking about them as though they are representative when a regional state school is, by the numbers, closer to what most academics and students actually experience.

University professors generally do not make very much relative to our training levels. Most of us, especially in STEM, could make a lot more in industry (and deal with a lot less bureaucracy). Grant money mostly goes to paying students, postdocs, and staff, and is heavily vetted and scrutinized.
