As scholars who study humanitarian aid, Korbel Prof @chenr.bsky.social and GW Prof @mzdeloffre.bsky.social, write that we are seeing not just a crisis of funding, but also one that jeopardizes the credibility of the entire global system that provides this lifesaving assistance.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Why target USAID when it’s <1% of budget? “USAID funds democracy-promotion programs around the world, including in European countries where right-wing populist movements are thriving. Musk has become an ally of those movements, some of whose leaders have specifically targeted the agency…” Gift link
