And if you want to talk to me about anything, anything at all, you have my email.

A polite hand clapping dusted the room.

F*** you, we heard from the door. You are a destroyer of everything that works. Go to hell now. You'll end up there anyway, why not take a shortcut,, You know how to take shortcuts, don't you?

After I #graduate from my #astrophysics #masters #program next #year, I'm going to take a #GapYear to #improve my #resume for #applications to #PhD programs. Probably I would be doing an #internship, and given the #Trump #cuts here in the #USA, there aren't many #opportunities available.

I've heard that #France is picking up some of the slack. I'm #wondering if I should go, what I should do to #prepare, and where else there would be opportunities for me. Does anyone have #advice?

"The [Division of #Viral #Hepatitis] Laboratory Branch had the highest degree of viral hepatitis expertise of any #PublicHealth laboratory in the world," wrote Scott Becker, the assn's CEO. "Their loss eliminated critical national testing services that do not exist anywhere else within the #HHS agencies."

As of April 16, the assn had not received a response from #RFKJr, Becker said.

14 years of Tory cuts and austerity and now Labour are in power it is more of the same. It simply doesn't work. Cuts do not generate growth.

This is just horrible. I feel so awful for the people this involves. Potentially ten thousand civil servants and contractors from Goddard alone!

Then the missions that will be just halted, even though they've been fully assembled (Nancy Grace Roman telescope)!

I must've missed the talk about this yesterday.
