Change Management in Data Science: Overcoming Resistance and Ensuring Adoption

[sirfrogsworth]

So Elon has decided to skip the imminent disaster of global climate change and just move on to a calamity 5 billion years in the future.

If you ever need to understand Elon's motivations, it's all this.

Okay and a little bit the woke mind virus.

But mostly this.

He wants to get to Mars more than anything. It's why the only thing he can speak intelligently about is his rockets. He has put in the time and effort to learn about them because this is his singular passion.

A lovely Youtube physicist did a video about SpaceX and she said half of the rockets blow up and Elon just wants more money. And it was disappointing to hear her say that because she is a scientist and both things are inaccurate.

SpaceX would be an amazing company without Elon. His leadership is the only thing really holding it back. They have put lots of cool shit into space. Their Falcon program is the most productive and cheapest rocket program in history. They put more stuff into space than everyone else combined.

They had to blow up part of the graph just so you could see the competition. Half of the SpaceX rockets are *not* blowing up.

Starship is a specific prototype. It has nothing to do with their main rocket business. Starship is Elon wanting to go to Mars. It is basically him trying to send a 3 story building into space. And he keeps blowing it up because that is the fastest way to develop a rocket. He's wasting a lot of money by trying to speedrun a trip to Mars in his lifetime. And these tests are bit more like crash test data than expecting the rocket and Starship to actually function properly. It's a process and they have goals for each launch, and for the most part, they reach those goals. Any success after those goals is gravy to them. But they are pretty certain it is going to end in fireworks at this stage of development.

I don't know if they will get it to work. It would be nice because a functional spaceship that size could do a lot of cool science. But Elon's goals and NASA's goals are going to conflict in a major way at some point in the future. And I'm worried that may damage space exploration.

Starship is very different than their Falcon program. It's a science experiment. Falcons rarely blow up. They get shit to space like the James Webb telescope.

And as far as Elon just wanting more money... sort of.

His personal wealth has not been a huge concern of his for a while. Otherwise he wouldn't have let Tesla fall apart like it has. The wealth he is actually concerned about is not his own. Going to Mars is a trillion-dollar-plus endeavor. Even the richest man in the world cannot raise that much money.

Only a government could fund that.

Elon knows this. He figured it out a while ago. And when he saw an opportunity to get his hands on the government purse strings, he jumped at the chance.

He jumped in the shape of an X like a giant loser.

I'm *positive* Elon thought, "If I could save the government a trillion dollars, they'll give it to me so I can go to Mars."

But it is probably breaking his brain right now after learning he isn't this super genius who can figure out government bureaucracy in a weekend with a bunch of coding dorks.

He got depressed and realized his cool plan to get to Mars was falling apart.

Whoops.

Elon will say anything to get to Mars. He will lie about anything to get to Mars. He will consort with anyone to get to Mars. If you are ever unsure why Elon is doing something, it's to get to Mars. His moral calculus is based on this. In his delusional mind, everything is justifiable to save the human race.

He does have side quests. He wants to repopulate the Earth with his seed. And he uses IVF because you can drastically increase the odds of getting a boy if you pay extra. And he is angry at his trans daughter because he wants boys to continue his mission to spread Musk seed. He spends $50,000 extra to make sure he gets boys and she is messing with the plan.

Oh, and he really really wants people to think he is good at video games. And he wants people to like him. And he wants to kill the woke mind virus because he didn't get the boy he paid for.

But Mars is *almost* all he cares about.

Elon thinks Earth is doomed and he wants immortality from being the man who saved human civilization. He truly believes our existence is dependent on being "multiplanetary." It might be the only thing he believes.

Saving the human race is supposed to be his legacy.

And it is killing us.

Several top scientists charged with overseeing research into disease prevention and cures at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) were notified that they were subject to a reduction in force on Tuesday as part of a devastating purge of federal employees carried out by US Health and Human Services secretary Robert Kennedy Jr., WIRED has learned.

Multiple sources at the NIH, granted anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media, confirmed Tuesday afternoon that at least 10 principal investigators who were leading and directing medical research at the agency had been fired. Among them is Dr. Richard Youle, a leading researcher in the field of neurodegenerative disorders previously awarded the Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences for his groundbreaking research identifying mechanisms behind Parkinson’s disease.

The Breakthrough Prize ceremony, often referred to as the “Oscars of Science,” was last year attended by Elon Musk, whose Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has served as the tip of the spear in President Donald Trump’s campaign to eliminate large swaths of the federal workforce.

HHS did not respond to WIRED's questions about the firings of NIH scientists. Vianca Rodriguez, an agency spokesperson, pointed to previous statements by Secretary Kennedy, including plans announced last week to eliminate 1,200 NIH jobs in areas of procurement, human resources, and communications.

Multiple NIH sources tell WIRED the layoffs include—in addition to labor, IT, and human resources personnel—several accomplished senior investigators at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), top scientists at the National Institute on Aging, and several researchers noted for their work in HIV, emerging infectious diseases, and child brain and neural disorders.

At an NINDS town hall meeting on Tuesday, leadership at that institute expressed confusion about the cuts, saying they were blindsided by firings of principal investigators, or PIs, who lead research teams. NIH has approximately 1,200 PIs across its 27 centers and institutes. “To get rid of 11 of our senior PIs … we’re hoping that’s a mistake, because we can’t figure out why they would want to do that,” said Walter Koroshetz, director of the NINDS, according to a source present at the meeting.

The labs affected by the layoffs include those involved in clinical trials as well as preclinical studies. It is unclear, NIH staff said, what the plans are for the data they've accumulated or what will happen to patients involved in ongoing trials.

An email sent out Tuesday to more than 2,000 recent college graduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows working at NIH seems to confirm the firings of multiple PIs. “Many of us know someone, directly or indirectly, who received a termination notice today as part of an HHS-wide Reduction in Force,” reads an email by Sharon Milgram, director of NIH’s Office of Intramural Training & Education, which was shared with WIRED.

The NIH supports young researchers through various programs, typically temporary one- or two-years fellowships. These early-career scientists are placed in labs under a PI. In her email, Milgram tells fellows with NIH’s postbaccalaureate, cancer research, and visiting fellows programs whose PI received an RIF notice, “I can assure you that your fellowship appointment is not immediately terminated and that we will work with each of you to explore reassignment options soon.”

An effort is said to be underway by NIH leaders to reverse the firings of the investigators, whose absence, sources say, could paralyze research at the agency into finding targets and biomarkers for drug development and other treatment.

The Trump administration sent out notices to thousands of federal health agency employees Tuesday, including at the NIH, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The NIH, which serves as the world's largest source of funding for research into the causes, prevention, and cure of human disease, was stripped of critical support staff on Tuesday in what Health Secretary Kennedy framed as a shift in his agency's priorities. Roughly a quarter of the agency's staff has been cut since the start of Trump's second term.

In a statement on X, Kennedy called the firings a "difficult moment," while blaming the size of his department's budget. "This overhaul is about realigning HHS with its core mission to stop the chronic disease epidemic and Make America Healthy Again," he said.

A senior scientist at NIH tells WIRED the impact of Tuesday's layoffs was sheer "chaos," with the firings of the lead investigators projected to widely impair and impede diverse ongoing research ranging from mechanisms within cells in the brain to human patients with neurologic conditions.

"It's extremely disruptive to lose the head of a lab," another scientist said. "But this is also disruptive for every single lab that does remain at NIH, because they've removed so much of the administrative support that's necessary for us to function."

On Tuesday, US Senators Bill Cassidy, a Republican from Louisiana, and Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont, sent a letter to Kennedy inviting him to an April 10 Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee meeting on the HHS reorganization.

During his confirmation process, Kennedy committed to providing quarterly updates to the HELP committee, which Cassidy chairs. “This will be a good opportunity for him to set the record straight,” Cassidy said in a statement, “and speak to the goals, structure and benefits of the proposed reorganization.”

New data model paves way for seamless collaboration among US and international astronomy institutions

Software engineers have been hard at work to establish a common language for a global conversation. The topic—revealing the mysteries of the universe. The U.S. National Science Foundation National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NSF NRAO) has been collaborating with U.S. and international astronomy institutions to establish a new open-source, standardized format for processing radio astronomical data, enabling interoperability between scientific institutions worldwide.

When telescopes are observing the universe, they collect vast amounts of data—for hours, months, even years at a time, depending on what they are studying. Combining data from different telescopes is especially useful to astronomers, to see different parts of the sky, or to observe the targets they are studying in more detail, or at different wavelengths. Each instrument has its own strengths, based on its location and capabilities.

"By setting this international standard, NRAO is taking a leadership role in ensuring that our global partners can efficiently utilize and share astronomical data," said Jan-Willem Steeb, the technical lead of the new data processing program at the NSF NRAO. "This foundational work is crucial as we prepare for the immense data volumes anticipated from projects like the Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade to the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array and the Square Kilometer Array Observatory in Australia and South Africa."

By addressing these key aspects, the new data model establishes a foundation for seamless data sharing and processing across various radio telescope platforms, both current and future.

International astronomy institutions collaborating with the NSF NRAO on this process include the Square Kilometer Array Observatory (SKAO), the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO), the European Southern Observatory (ESO), the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), and Joint Institute for Very Long Baseline Interferometry European Research Infrastructure Consortium (JIVE).

The new data model was tested with example datasets from approximately 10 different instruments, including existing telescopes like the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder and simulated data from proposed future instruments like the NSF NRAO's Next Generation Very Large Array. This broader collaboration ensures the model meets diverse needs across the global astronomy community.

Extensive testing completed throughout this process ensures compatibility and functionality across a wide range of instruments. By addressing these aspects, the new data model establishes a more robust, flexible, and future-proof foundation for data sharing and processing in radio astronomy, significantly improving upon historical models.

"The new model is designed to address the limitations of aging models, in use for over 30 years, and created when computing capabilities were vastly different," adds Jeff Kern, who leads software development for the NSF NRAO.

"The new model updates the data architecture to align with current and future computing needs, and is built to handle the massive data volumes expected from next-generation instruments. It will be scalable, which ensures the model can cope with the exponential growth in data from future developments in radio telescopes."

As part of this initiative, the NSF NRAO plans to release additional materials, including guides for various instruments and example datasets from multiple international partners.

"The new data model is completely open-source and integrated into the Python ecosystem, making it easily accessible and usable by the broader scientific community," explains Steeb. "Our project promotes accessibility and ease of use, which we hope will encourage widespread adoption and ongoing development."

Public comment on AI Exc. Order closes @ end of day 15 March 2025

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On January 23, 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14179 (Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence) to establish U.S. policy for sustaining and enhancing America's AI dominance in order to promote human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security. This Order directs the development of an AI Action Plan to advance America's AI leadership, in a process led by the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, the White House AI and Crypto Czar, and the National Security Advisor.

This Order follows the President's January 20, 2025, Executive Order 14148, revocation of the Biden-Harris AI Executive Order 14110 of October 30, 2023 (Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence), which hampered the private sector's ability to innovate in AI by imposing burdensome government requirements restricting private sector AI development and deployment. The Trump Administration recognizes that with the right government policies, the United States can solidify its position as the leader in AI and secure a brighter future for all Americans.

OSTP seeks input on the highest priority policy actions that should be in the new AI Action Plan. Responses can address any relevant AI policy topic, including but not limited to: hardware and chips, data centers, energy consumption and efficiency, model development, open source development, application and use (either in the private sector or by government), explainability and assurance of AI model outputs, cybersecurity, data privacy and security throughout the lifecycle of AI system development and deployment (to include security against AI model attacks), risks, regulation and governance, technical and safety standards, national security and defense, research and development, education and workforce, innovation and competition, intellectual property, procurement, international collaboration, and export controls. Respondents are encouraged to suggest concrete AI policy actions needed to address the topics raised.

Comments received will be taken into consideration in the development of the AI Action Plan.

Headcanon that Metroid DNA samples -that is to say, tissue extracted from the body, short of an actual fully living Metroid organism- are so damn rare because they're nearly impossible to keep alive.

From a Doylist perspective, we know cloning exists, so why is it treated as a given that destroying the Metroids will render them extinct, when there's likely plenty of DNA samples for the Space Pirates to have extracted? Why bother sending Ridley to SR388 to steal one, when they must have something to clone from? If the Federation was able to scrape DNA to clone Metroids from, why do we assume nobody else can?

It's because Metroids are partially energy-based organisms; This is connected to their ability to drain a mysterious 'life energy', while also generating a field that renders them indestructible unless frozen brittle. They need this energy to survive, and it's why their bodies disintegrate upon death; The energy part of the Metroid burns out after losing the binding structural integrity of the flesh, vaporizing the remaining biomass in the process.

(Yes, I know from a Doylist perspective that ALL enemy bodies disintegrate into nothingness upon death. But the the death animations of Metroids in Samus Returns, with their bolts of energy, has me thinking.)

When any tissue is separated from a Metroid's body, it quickly withers away and crumbles, due to no longer having access to that sweet, potent life energy. And not being a full Metroid in and of itself, a tissue sample can't just drain the energy it needs from other organisms. To keep a DNA sample alive, one would need to feed it life energy the moment of separation.

But again, nobody really understands how that aspect of the Metroids work except for the Thoha Chozo. Under the control of Mother Brain or Dark Samus, perhaps a Metroid could be commanded to feed a DNA sample some of its energy, but this would need to be maintained; And once both leaders died, the cells would definitely die out. In general, there's so much to the Metroid's DNA and biology that people don't understand, such as their latent life cycles only possible on SR388.

By the time of Sylux's leadership, science team actually figured out a way to preserve a DNA sample... Except it was a deeply flawed one, since their attempts to replicate life energy to sustain Metroid tissue was imperfect. As a result, the Metroid cells were left starved and barely surviving, half-degraded. So when the Space Pirates attempted to clone Metroids from these weakened cells, they got the pitiful Mochtroids, who were much weaker and lacked an energy field to make themselves invulnerable; Similarly, their draining capabilities and other metabolic functions were impaired.

But the Galactic Federation eventually figured out how to properly sustain Metroid cells by studying the Talvanian Metroid egg, as well as the infant from SR388. This glimpse into an earlier stage of the Metroid life cycle, previously unseen, gave them a better idea into its growth and biology, and how it grew and fed, how its cells developed. The infant's exposure to SR388 yielded additional data.

The BSL space station had technology that could replicate the needs of the Metroid, from SR388's environment, to the isolated life energy that a Metroid fed upon. DNA samples acquired from the infant on Ceres were sent and preserved there, and this is how a Metroid vaccine was able to be devised; This would be used to save Samus Aran from an X infection, and in the process of feeding on the parasite's life force, the Metroid cells' metabolic function caused them to fuse with Samus' own DNA.

Still, Metroid DNA extracted from Samus follows the same high-maintenance rule; The EMMIs, which had no expenses spared into their development, contained internal generators that could sustain any Metroid DNA they 'hypothetically' extracted. Likewise, Quiet Robe's participation in the Metroids' creation meant he knew how to keep Metroid cells alive, and he was forced to pass that knowledge onto Raven Beak.

Now all Raven Beak needed was an actual living sample of Metroid DNA; He'd have extracted it on SR388, but at the time only the Thoha knew how to do this. And they were too focused on exterminating the Metroids to consider preserving them. And when Raven Beak revealed his plans, he massacred all but Quiet Robe, who he would've learned sooner from back on ZDR had the X infestation not occupied him as well. Maybe Raven Beak DID bring back preserved Metroid DNA, but the X that impersonated one of his crew sabotaged it behind everyone's backs, and then revealed itself without any potential for Metroids to show up on ZDR.

News of the Day 5/9/25: Funding for Scientific Research

Paywall free.

I've got a budding research scientist in my life. She was born here, grew up here, did her BS here but is doing grad school in Europe, and there's a lot of reasons for that but the possibility of doing science research in America certainly made the decision easier. She's a special kid, and I promise you, we're worse for not having her manning the pipettes around here.

If empathy isn't enough, funding general science research is a ridiculously good long-term investment. The NPR piece goes into specifics on the economy piece, but it's pretty intuitive. Think about the business growth and just the general quality of life payoff that came from some electrical engineers piddling around to make TCP/IP work. (That's the data-transfer protocol that essentially led to the development of the modern internet.)

Hug a scientist, budding or otherwise, if you've got one in your life. They're going through it. Check in with your state's flagship research university and see what they're doing to fight back. And do call your Congressmen. Power of the purse is a legislative thing, or used to be.

This song seems appropriate, somehow. It's never a bad day for Michael Longcor.

Reforming the Federal Hiring Process and Restoring Merit to Government Service

Issued January 20, 2025.

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including sections 3301, 3302, and 7511 of title 5, United States Code, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. Policy. American citizens deserve an excellent and efficient Federal workforce that attracts the highest caliber of civil servants committed to achieving the freedom, prosperity, and democratic rule that our Constitution promotes. But current Federal hiring practices are broken, insular, and outdated. They no longer focus on merit, practical skill, and dedication to our Constitution. Federal hiring should not be based on impermissible factors, such as one's commitment to illegal racial discrimination under the guise of "equity," or one's commitment to the invented concept of "gender identity" over sex. Inserting such factors into the hiring process subverts the will of the People, puts critical government functions at risk, and risks losing the best-qualified candidates.

By making our recruitment and hiring processes more efficient and focused on serving the Nation, we will ensure that the Federal workforce is prepared to help achieve American greatness, and attracts the talent necessary to serve our citizens effectively. By significantly improving hiring principles and practices, Americans will receive the Federal resources and services they deserve from the highest-skilled Federal workforce in the world.

Sec. 2. Federal Hiring Plan. (a) Within 120 days of the date of this order, the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, in consultation with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the Director of the Office of Personnel Management, and the Administrator of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), shall develop and send to agency heads a Federal Hiring Plan that brings to the Federal workforce only highly skilled Americans dedicated to the furtherance of American ideals, values, and interests.

(b) This Federal Hiring Plan shall:

(i) prioritize recruitment of individuals committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government, passionate about the ideals of our American republic, and committed to upholding the rule of law and the United States Constitution;

(ii) prevent the hiring of individuals based on their race, sex, or religion, and prevent the hiring of individuals who are unwilling to defend the Constitution or to faithfully serve the Executive Branch;

(iii) implement, to the greatest extent possible, technical and alternative assessments as required by the Chance to Compete Act of 2024;

(iv) decrease government-wide time-to-hire to under 80 days;

(v) improve communication with candidates to provide greater clarity regarding application status, timelines, and feedback, including regular updates on the progress of applications and explanations of hiring decisions where appropriate;

(vi) integrate modern technology to support the recruitment and selection process, including the use of data analytics to identify trends, gaps, and opportunities in hiring, as well as leveraging digital platforms to improve candidate engagement; and

(vii) ensure Department and Agency leadership, or their designees, are active participants in implementing the new processes and throughout the full hiring process.

(c) This Federal Hiring Plan shall include specific agency plans to improve the allocation of Senior Executive Service positions in the Cabinet agencies, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Office of Management and Budget, the Small Business Administration, the Social Security Administration, the National Science Foundation, the Office of Personnel Management, and the General Services Administration, to best facilitate democratic leadership, as required by law, within each agency.

(d) The Federal Hiring Plan shall provide specific best practices for the human resources function in each agency, which each agency head shall implement, with advice and recommendations as appropriate from DOGE.

Sec. 3. Accountability and Reporting. (a) The Director of the Office of Personnel Management shall establish clear performance metrics to evaluate the success of these reforms, and request agency analysis on a regular basis.

(b) The Office of Personnel Management shall consult with Federal agencies, labor organizations, and other stakeholders to monitor progress and ensure that the reforms are meeting the needs of both candidates and agencies.

Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.

(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

How did a non-peer-reviewed “correspondence” article become the conclusive data set upon which the virus was of “natural origin” theory rested?

The WHO only investigated the “natural origins” of SARS-CoV-2 based on the above correspondence article - as, in their opinion, the science had already been settled. In retrospect, this decision appears to be actively developed and deployed disinformation (ergo false information distributed for political purposes).

The passage of time and multiple investigations have since revealed that this influential publication was the product of an active disinformation campaign coordinated in part by the NIH/NIAID under the direction and leadership of Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Unfortunately, the Wall Street Journal is unwilling to publish a brief opinion essay that discloses both the facts of this matter as well as the “public relations” propaganda being distributed by the communications director of the WHO on the eve of the inauguration of President-Elect Donald Trump and confirmation hearings for HHS Secretary-nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

In this regard, it is notable that representatives of this incoming US administration have indicated an intention to once again withdraw US funding from the World Health Organization.

Federal data show the Biden administration approved 9,779 permits for oil and gas drilling on public lands in its first three years, nearly keeping pace with the Trump administration’s 9,982 drilling-permit approvals in its first three years.

The Biden administration’s policy of oil and gas expansion contradicts the clear climate science that fossil fuel growth must be stopped and governments must phase out fossil fuels to avoid the most catastrophic consequences of climate change. In December the United States and other countries agreed to a phasedown and ultimate phaseout of fossil fuel extraction.

“Given the urgency of the climate crisis and our nation’s pledge to phase out oil and gas extraction, the Biden administration needs to pump the brakes right now on issuing drilling permits on our public lands,” said Jeremy Nichols of the Center for Biological Diversity. “It’s time for the administration to show the world what true climate leadership looks like.”

The pace of new oil- and gas-drilling approvals stands in contrast to the administration’s action last week to temporarily pause new gas-export projects. While met with support, the pause is not permanent and does not stem new fossil fuel production.

“The temporary pause on new gas-exports projects is a good step, but for it to be meaningful, the Biden administration needs to make it permanent and stop rubberstamping more fossil fuel production,” said Nichols.

More than 6,000 of the drilling permits granted by the administration are on public lands managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s New Mexico office, followed by 1,793 permits in Wyoming and several hundred each in Utah, Colorado, California and North Dakota.

Scientific analyses show climate pollution from the world’s already producing fossil fuel developments, if fully developed, will push warming past 1.5 degrees Celsius. Avoiding such warming requires ending new investment in fossil fuel projects and phasing out production to keep as much as 40% of already developed fields in the ground.

The Biden administration has not enacted any policies to significantly limit drilling permits or manage a decline of production to avoid 1.5 degrees of warming. It supported Sen. Joe Manchin’s demands to add provisions to the Inflation Reduction Act that will lock in fossil fuel leasing for the next decade.

The administration has also ignored petitions from hundreds of climate, conservation, Indigenous and environmental justice groups calling for a phaseout of federal oil and gas production.

It did not take long for Harvard’s leadership to realize that the university would have to stand up to the Trump Administration. On March 31st, the White House announced that the status of nine billion dollars in multiyear federal funding to the university and its affiliated hospitals was in question, pending review of alleged antisemitism on campus. A week and a half later, the Administration delivered an ultimatum that dispensed with that pretense: it issued no findings on the university’s antisemitism response but instead issued far more extensive demands.

In order to “maintain Harvard’s financial relationship with the federal government,” the letter stated, it must agree to, among other things: share with the government all hiring and admissions data through 2028, including on rejected student applicants; submit to the government an external audit of the views of all faculty, staff, and students, to show that every department and unit has established “viewpoint diversity”; reduce the power held by selected faculty members based on their “activism”; and audit numerous departments, including in the medical school, the school of public health, the divinity school, and the school of education, for alleged antisemitism.

I have spent nearly all of my career at Harvard and one of its affiliated hospitals, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, in academic surgery and public health. For the past three years, I took a leave to lead the Global Health Bureau at the U.S. Agency for International Development, under the Biden Administration. There I saw firsthand the consequences—in diminished lifespans and economies—of governments with rulers controlling “viewpoint diversity” in civil institutions. At the end of President Biden’s term, I returned to my surgery department, only to watch in dismay, soon after, as the agency was demolished in a matter of weeks. Now the Trump Administration was seeking to do to the university what it had done to U.S.A.I.D. and other federal agencies: defund vital programs, purge and traumatize the staff, and place political reins on what remained.

With U.S.A.I.D., President Donald Trump proved willing to impose catastrophic consequences, including widespread death and financial waste. But that was for people and investments far away. His attacks on universities involve lives and investments here at home.

These attacks are part of a broader assault on America’s health-and-science infrastructure. More than ninety per cent of the nine billion federal dollars for Harvard that are now in danger supports life sciences, primarily through the National Institutes of Health. The university itself receives only a fraction of this funding. Three-quarters of it goes to five independent Boston hospitals affiliated with its medical school: Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston Children’s Hospital, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. The threatened defunding, if implemented, would choke off science and research across all of them.

I have been at Harvard for more than three decades. My three children were born at Beth Israel Deaconess. And Boston Children’s Hospital saved my son Walker, who went into multisystem organ failure, after just eleven days of life, from what turned out to be a rare congenital heart syndrome involving an “interrupted” aorta. Walker’s condition was once uniformly fatal, but it is survivable now thanks not just to the care provided at Boston Children’s but also to decades of federally funded research conducted there and elsewhere. Government funding, in particular from the N.I.H., enabled Boston Children’s, often in collaboration with other U.S. hospitals and universities, to conduct long-term studies and trials of children born with congenital heart disease. Researchers at the hospital demonstrated the lifesaving value of a hormonelike substance called prostaglandin, which supported Walker’s circulation after he arrived in the emergency room in cardiac failure. Their federally subsidized work also helped establish how to safely surgically repair the defects in his heart and aorta, which required stopping the blood flow to his brain for the entire procedure, as well as the protocols for his subsequent care.

Walker had no further cardiac symptoms until his early teens; however, after routine imaging showed narrowing of his aorta, he needed a stent inserted. He has also needed ongoing monitoring. Now almost thirty years old, he could be among the first generation of geriatric survivors of conditions like his. But research will have to guide recommendations for further care and treatment in the future—research that is now directly at risk.

My family is far from unique; people everywhere have benefitted from public investments in Harvard and the research hospitals affiliated with it. The university is not used to having to tout its impact, but the current attack has prompted it to highlight that work on a new home page. If you or someone you love has cancer, cardiovascular disease, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, or diabetes, the website points out, you have likely benefitted from federally funded discoveries in care and treatment. Ariadne Labs, the research center where I work, has alone reached more than a hundred and thirty-three million people with system-level innovations that have produced better outcomes in surgery, childbirth, primary care, and serious-illness care.

The Trump Administration has furthermore already gutted key parts of the Department of Health and Human Services, slashing twenty thousand jobs—a quarter of its employees—and essential programs at the N.I.H., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Food and Drug Administration. The purge has, for example, all but eliminated regulatory enforcement of tobacco at the F.D.A. and smoking-reduction efforts at the C.D.C., even though smoking remains the leading cause of preventable disease and death. The removals shut down the C.D.C.’s renowned viral-hepatitis lab in the middle of a hepatitis-C-outbreak investigation in Florida—just after C.D.C. staff had genetically traced the outbreak to a doctor who had been improperly reusing injection vials. The N.I.H. delayed issuing new grants and terminated large swaths of existing ones, including half of the grants for research on improving public-vaccination rates, and also hundreds of H.I.V.-research grants. The sweeping layoffs also removed much of the C.D.C.’s H.I.V.-prevention staff, along with reassigning the top leadership in H.I.V. research at the N.I.H., thereby abandoning the U.S. commitment to end H.I.V. by 2030. At the same time, the Trump Administration has moved to increase its political influence on decisions about future N.I.H. grant funding, F.D.A. approvals, and C.D.C. guidance.

The Administration’s assault on American academic health and science has targeted not only Harvard but also at least nine other institutions, including other private universities, such as Columbia and Johns Hopkins, and public ones, such as the University of Minnesota and U.C.L.A. All these schools are in blue states. However, the N.I.H. grant terminations and the freeze on new grants have hit far more, including universities in red states such as North Carolina, Texas, and Florida. A leaked draft of the President’s 2026 H.H.S. budget proposes further cuts of forty per cent at N.I.H. and at C.D.C. Universities nationwide are now reducing or even rescinding graduate-student admissions. It’s suddenly a terrible time for a young person to dream of making scientific discoveries. For the sake of political control, the Administration is jeopardizing an enterprise that added decades to life expectancy in the United States and made America the world leader in technology and innovation.

Certainly, existing flaws and challenges across this infrastructure deserve attention and reform. But taking a chainsaw to it will only produce more waste, less output, and poorer results. Meanwhile, China has been aggressively increasing investments in research and science. As Chris Impey, a professor at the University of Arizona, noted to The Hill, “Five years ago, China overtook the U.S. in its share of the top 1 percent of cited papers. China also leads the world in patents and will soon be outspending the U.S. on research.”

This past Monday morning, Harvard’s president, Alan Garber, sent out an e-mail to the university community stating, “We have informed the administration through our legal counsel that we will not accept their proposed agreement. The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights.” Within hours, Trump officials suspended the portion of the nine billion dollars in federal grants that goes directly to Harvard—$2.2 billion. A government spokesperson said that the $6.7 billion in funding to its hospital partners would be spared, at least for now. The cuts would primarily hit the researchers at the university itself—in particular, the medical school and the school of public health, whose budgets rely most heavily on sponsored research support.

Unnamed Administration officials told the Times that the letter was sent by mistake and was “unauthorized,” despite carrying the signature of top officials in three federal agencies. Nonetheless, the Administration has not withdrawn the letter or its suspension of funding. Instead, Trump has escalated the attacks, threatening to revoke the university’s tax-exempt status and its certification to enroll international students.

Sarah Fortune, a professor and the chair of the department of immunology and infectious diseases at Harvard’s school of public health, is among the world’s leading experts on tuberculosis, the No. 1 infectious cause of death globally. She had a sixty-million-dollar N.I.H. award for a seven-year moon-shot effort to unravel exactly how tuberculosis makes people sick, in order to find ways to better control the disease. It is now the beginning of the fifth year of the contract, which has supported work involving some sixty people across fourteen institutions—including Case Western Reserve University, in Ohio, the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Colorado, and clinical sites in South Africa and Uganda. That work—in humans, animals, and machine-learning models—had already revealed a pathway to a truly protective vaccine against T.B., which was previously believed impossible. The team had been conducting testing in macaques of an injectable vaccine developed by researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital.

But, on Tuesday morning, Fortune had received an e-mail with a letter from the N.I.H. ordering her to stop her research, “effective immediately.” Virtually all spending was halted. This was reminiscent of the stop-work orders and terminations at U.S.A.I.D., which ended more than eighty per cent of the agency’s programs and led to layoffs for some two hundred thousand people in the U.S. and around the world. These programs and people had saved lives by the millions. The indifference to, and even celebration of, the destruction is what is most horrifying.

Unless the order is reversed, Fortune will need to find at least temporary funding to avoid layoffs to her Harvard team. As for her partner universities, some have already begun layoffs. The stop-work order halted vaccine-study funding for the macaques. She managed to find an outside funder to support the animals, but, if she hadn’t, the team might have had to euthanize them.

Adding to the pain is the waste of investment that could ensue. The research consortium has data from tissue samples that represents a resource the field has never had—and that is yet to be fully analyzed. “The technologies, the machine learning, and the people who know how to put those together—if that process falls apart, the knowledge is gone,” she said. Then there are the experiments, which could have to be abandoned. For example, the macaques have been injected with the new vaccine and were about to get their “challenge dose” of T.B. “The people who are making these decisions don’t fully understand how science operates,” Fortune told me.

I asked her what concerns her most. “Well, I’m the department chair,” she said. “We are two-thirds federally funded.” The department’s more than two hundred faculty members, scientists, students, and staff are uppermost in her mind. They do advanced basic research spanning malaria, ulcerative colitis, tick- and mosquito-borne diseases, and cancers caused by microbiome changes. Notably, their work also includes research on the bacterium that causes gonorrhea, which has gained sudden urgency owing to the development in the U.S. of resistance to nearly every antibiotic used to treat the disease. She is now attempting to find alternative sources of support for her people, while the university pursues its challenge to the funding suspension. “I’m trying to figure out how to salvage core bits of the scientific enterprises across the department,” she said.

My research center has been hit, too, but not the way her department has. Despite all that Fortune and her colleagues may endure in what’s ahead, even the loss of her life’s work, she wanted me to know that she was not complaining about the Harvard president’s actions: “I really support the university’s stance here.” Fortune then asked me about the work I’d formerly led at U.S.A.I.D. “It is one thing for us to all lose our jobs, but it is totally another thing for starving children not to be fed,” she said. It’s not a hierarchy of horrors, I thought. But U.S.A.I.D.’s experience is a warning. The U.S. capacity for health, humanitarian, and developmental impact has been largely dismantled, leading to severe consequences for hundreds of millions of people abroad; now the destruction will have severe consequences for hundreds of millions of people here as well—if it’s not stopped.

Researchers illuminate the mysteries of icy ocean worlds

New research advances understanding of the habitability of icy moons.

As NASA’s Europa Clipper embarks on its historic journey to Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa, Dr. Matt Powell-Palm, a faculty member at Texas A&M University’s J. Mike Walker ‘66 Department of Mechanical Engineering, has unveiled groundbreaking research that could transform our understanding of icy ocean worlds across the solar system. The study published in Nature Communications, co-authored with planetary scientist Dr. Baptiste Journaux of the University of Washington, introduces a novel thermodynamic concept called the “centotectic” and investigates the stability of liquids in extreme conditions - critical information for determining the habitability of icy moons like Europa. Revolutionizing the Search for Habitability The exploration of icy ocean worlds represents a new frontier in planetary science, focusing on understanding the potential for these environments to support life. Powell-Palm’s research addresses a fundamental question in this field: under what conditions can liquid water remain stable on these distant, frozen bodies? By defining and measuring the cenotectic, the absolute lowest temperature at which a liquid remains stable under varying pressures and concentrations, the team provides a critical framework for interpreting data from planetary exploration efforts. This study combines Powell-Palm’s expertise in cryobiology - specifically the low-temperature thermodynamics of water - initially focused on medical applications like organ preservation for transplantation, with Journaux’s expertise in planetary science and high-pressure water-ice systems. Together, they developed a framework that bridges disciplines to tackle one of the most fascinating challenges in planetary science. “With the launch of NASA Europa Clipper, the largest planetary exploration mission ever launched, we are entering a multi-decade era of exploration of cold and icy ocean worlds. Measurements from this and other missions will tell us how deep the ocean is and its composition,” said Journaux. “Laboratory measurements of liquid stability, and notably the lowest temperature possible (the newly-defined cenotectic), combined with mission results, will allow us to fully constrain how habitable the cold and deep oceans of our solar system are, and also what their final fate will be when the moons or planets have cooled down entirely.” A Texas A&M Legacy of Innovation in Space Research The research was conducted at Texas A&M and led by mechanical engineering graduate student Arian Zarriz. The work reflects Texas A&M’s deep expertise in water-ice systems and tradition of excellence in space research, which spans multiple disciplines. With the recent groundbreaking of the Texas A&M Space Institute, the university is poised to play an even larger role in space exploration, providing intellectual leadership for missions pushing the boundaries of human knowledge.  “The study of icy worlds is a particular priority for both NASA and the European Space Agency, as evidenced by the flurry of recent and upcoming spacecraft launches,” said Powell-Palm. “We hope that Texas A&M will help to provide intellectual leadership in this space.” Looking Ahead As planetary exploration missions, such as those targeting icy moons, continue to expand our understanding of the solar system, researchers at Texas A&M and beyond prepare to analyze the wealth of data they will provide. By combining experimental studies like those conducted by Powell-Palm and Journaux with the findings from these missions, scientists aim to unlock the secrets of cold, ocean-bearing worlds and evaluate their potential to harbor life.
