I don’t think everyone realizes how bad things are for US science: For the fiscal year that just ended, the Trump regime withheld $1.4 billion from the National Science Foundation’s research budget, which is about 1/5 of its primary research budget.

National Science Foundation Diverted $1.4 Billion in Science Funds Mandated by Congress (Gift Article)

The move, affecting about one-fifth of the National Science Foundation’s primary research budget, is the latest sign of how the White House is asserting more control over grants.

As someone who was a chem major at USNA with a great, entirely civilian, department- to have this- THIS- done on top of all the other damage to Academies in general. No senior officer who ‘followed orders’ to allow all this should have any career or pension, hell they should lose citizenship.

As a scientist outside the US, this is staggering. Decades of world-leading Earth, Ocean and atmospheric research and a generation of scientists are at risk. … and, of course, science is often a team sport so the consequences for global scientific collaboration will extend far beyond the US.

I don't need to say this, but it's obvious to me: this dramatic drop can be laid at the feet of the Trump Administration. The impacts, I predict, will be dramatic, bad and only visible 5 to 10 years from now at the earliest.* *it's falsifiable, but quite a ways from now

A recurrent theme in this excellent story about China’s progress is that people there regard Trump as essential to their success, including his ability to drive scientific talent from the US www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

In Beijing, a think tank at Renmin University recently published an assessment titled
"Thank Trump," which wryly hailed his efforts to hasten the "twilight of an empire," by undermining America's alliances, civil service, scientific institutions, and democratic credibility. In the past two years, the international approval rating of the U.S. has dropped nearly forty points, according to a worldwide survey by the Alliance of Democracies; in multiple polls, China now rates higher than the U.S.

A Cloudflare co-founder launched the company due to OPT. This crushing fee probably means Zatlyn starts Cloudflare or another company elsewhere. Add in all the int’l PhD grads who stay for postdocs, often on OPT. Lots of US Nobel Prizes come that way. This is a stupid and destructive policy

Even from a purely national pride perspective, this requires you to think that the 100 year period from 1926 was a failure for the United States, instead of the zenith of its power, prosperity, and influence

New email to Director Bhattacharya to start Labor Day weekend regarding the secret transfer of appropriated funds to the Department of Defense.

Dear Director Bhattacharya:

Nothing screams "radical transparency" like quietly signing an agreement with another agency transferring hundreds of millions of dollars appropriated to NIH that is only publicly disclosed through investigative reporting and only confirmed by a vague statement by you on "X".

As you know, I have been tracking NIH commitments in as close to real time as possible. I am flattered that NIH has mimicked my "funding curves" on the front page of the NIH Reporter website. Apparently, I will need to consider essentially secret interagency transfers in my analysis.

This is another good contribution to your legacy at NIH..."Director Bhattacharya broke new ground and many other things."

Sincerely,

Jeremy M. Berg
Director NIGMS, 2003-2011

My take: “Students approach college “with energetic curiosity. They always do. Why? Because they are [about] to discover who they are as readers, as conversation partners, as people. They are figuring out what kind of work they find fulfilling, what they love to do.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/04/o...
