I assume many colleagues will have comments here. There was a moment when our federal funding streams encouraged multidisciplinary research and curricula. This is not that moment. The current bill re: fundingwill make it more difficult to cooperate, much less collaborate. Strategic assault.

1/ Five cases of New World screwworm have now been confirmed in the U.S., Texas has declared an emergency, and Canada immediately restricted livestock imports. Most people had never heard of screwworm until last week (or maybe just now). That's because we eradicated it from the U.S. in 1966.🧵
