First of all, I would like to commend you on your calm and respectful demeanor. I comprised a few in a comment below. I am interested in information on the approval process and what goes into that. On the outside, it appears that it’s just a sign off sheet and popularity contest so I’d like to educate myself on that process more.
Ok fair enough but how does something like that get through the competitive process then? On the surface it sounds frivolous which would mean it wouldn’t be competitive?
The cost of some of these are insane too.

I personally don’t understand gain of function and why we would ever do that.
There was one person that was searching for parasitic snails…for some reason.
Again, I think the pendulum swung too far for this admin however some of these grants, in my opinion, are frivolous and we could all probably agree WAY too expensive for the work that is being done.
While I agree this administration went too far in not funding stuff, there were A LOT of grants that were useless and frivolous.
I hear ya but I wouldn’t put it past the government. You’re now a bargaining chip in future negotiations
The IRS will still find you lol
Ohhhh that’s interesting.
Aren’t you still paying taxes to the USA? Just curious.

Oh my b I was just commentating on the team like vernacular in the article
I hate articles like this. Ever since political science became a subject in school the government has become shambles. It used to be we and us now it’s red vs blue and numbers game. F the two party system. F political science and F Congress for not doing their jobs like it’s supposed to be done.
May I ask where you are from OP?
