The EPA was just directed to freeze all grants. This means that grad students and researchers funded on EPA funds are now without funds. All ongoing studies are stopped.It happened in a moment with a memo, by executive action, with zero input or oversight.
It could happen to any Federal institute, including the National Science Foundation, which funds my lab's research and several of my students (including their healt insurance and living stipends). Trump also froze all federal hiring yesterday as well.
Please, if you can safely raise your voice, raise it loudly. Call your congresspeople, call the White House, write op-eds and articles and blog posts. This is only Day 4.
Please, stand up for science and the environment. This is the emergency we were all worried about.
Update: Oh Wow: AP sagt, Trump habe EPA-Mitarbeitern befohlen, sich nicht gegenüber Reportern oder auf sozialen Medien über die Situation zu äußern. (Danke, Helge)
