· 4 pulledOn May 29th, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued a 412-page proposal to revise federal financial assistance.
The language is a combination of distinctly Trumpian attacks on 'woke' policies and boring governmentese designed to make your eyes glaze over as quickly as possible.
But under phrases like 'providing further clarification on the regulatory status of the OMB requirements' is something darker — a threat to scientific research in this country.
Everyone will be affected, not just scientists. Every community in the country.
