"A top Centers for Disease Control and Prevention official told staff this week to start planning for the agency’s splintering.
Several parts of CDC — mostly those devoted to health threats that aren’t infectious — are being spun off into the soon-to-be-created Administration for a Healthy America, the agency official told senior leaders in calls and meetings."
They're not saving you money. They're guaranteeing more people die and more property is destroyed. This is what incompetent, compromised people do. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU.
Autism isn't just a form of neurodivergence, but a kind of text, and how that is read (or not) is as important as studying it from a psychological perspective. How autistic people are received by others is the most important, and neglected, aspect of the condition.
" A new picture of autism in girls is emerging, says Gina Rippon...
"...The more we studied boys and men, the clearer the picture of autism that emerged – or so we thought..."

This proposal essentially ends U.S. leadership and dominance in space research and space-based astronomy.
"NASA’s science budget could be cut nearly in half under an early version of President Donald Trump’s budget proposal to Congress, a move that would terminate billions of dollars’ worth of ongoing and future missions."

Dr. Emily Judd: "The impact of anthropogenic climate change is (and will continue to be) determined by the rate of change (meaning how quickly CO2 and temperature change) much more than the absolute temperatures, themselves."

That includes the Nancy Grace Roman Space #Telescope, which has been designed to study distant #galaxies & faraway #planets from an orbital outpost about a million miles from Earth. The hardware of the Roman is in place & being integrated & tested at #NASA’s Goddard #Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD. The Roman is scheduled to launch as early as Sept 2026.
The #Hubble & #Webb space #telescopes —celebrated for their long list of discoveries as well as stunning images of the #universe — would remain supported under the proposal. However, no other telescope would be funded.
“This is an extinction-level event for #NASA science,” said Casey Dreier, chief of #space policy for the #Planetary Society, a space advocacy group. “It needlessly terminates functional, productive #science missions & cancels new missions currently being built, wasting billions of taxpayer dollars in the process. This is neither efficient nor smart budgeting.”

The budget plan, sent to NASA by the #RussVought led #OMB, would give NASA’s Science Mission Directorate $3.9B, down from its current budget of about $7.3B….

The preliminary version of #Trump’s budget proposal to #Congress, known as a “passback,” would cut the agency’s science budget funding nearly in half.
