Most of the money that researchers spend is on paying other researchers. In other words, canceling research funds is taking money out of local economies by removing people and their spending power from them. π§ͺ
Three marker genes targeting prokaryotic, eukaryotic, and vertebrate diversity were used to assess biodiversity within Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. High levels of biodiversity were seen...
NOAA is best known for operating the National Weather Service, but its work stretches from the ocean bed to outer space and supports billion-dollar industries.
In Astronomy, NSF has only 1 call per year (grants last 3 years). This means that if the process is paused (or worse), it has a huge ripple effect: it changes how we do graduate admissions, as ~1/2 of our graduate students are funded by NSF grants. It changes if we can hire postdoctoral researchers.
