I've been making my way through The World at War on the Internet Archive. It's so good! And I very much enjoy the Thames intro. Reminds me of my childhood.

Thank you for the reply. Of course I mistook this for US news. Apologies for my lazy American ways....we're a in a bit of a situation down here. I didn't look up Melissa Lantsmann. We had something similar in CA which has been blocked at the federal level.

Still enraged they cut the NIH Bridges programs. 13 students in my lab came as CC students through Bridges. Students who had little/no support or guidance before. They could now be in lab instead of needing to make ends meet off-campus. Most are now in PhD progs (incl GRFP awardees) or applying. 1/2

In Fiscal Year 2024. of the nearly $10 trillion that the Federal Government spent, more than $3 trillion was Federal financial assistance, such as grants and loans. Career and political appointees in the Executive Branch have a duty to align Federal spending and action with the will of the American people as expressed through Presidential priorities. Financial assistance should be dedicated to advancing Administration priorities, focusing taxpayer dollars to advance a stronger and safer America, eliminating the financial burden of inflation for citizens, unleashing American energy and manufacturing, ending wokeness" and the weaponization of government, promoting efficiency in government, and Making America Healthy Again.
