Dear Daniel,
As an outsider, I look at the developments in the US with some astonishment.
I'm already quite uncomfortable with it so being in the middle of it must be
an ordeal.
Best regards,

Under Trump, National Science Foundation Cuts Off All Funding to Scientists
https://tinyurl.com/288sarxe (National Science Foundation Halts Funding
Indefinitely)
Staff members at the US National Science Foundation (NSF) were told on 30
April to “stop awarding all funding actions until further notice,” according
to an email seen by Nature.
The policy prevents the NSF, one of the world’s biggest supporters of basic
research, from awarding new research grants and from supplying allotted funds
for existing grants, such as those that receive yearly increments of money.
The email does not provide a reason for the freeze and says that it will last
“until further notice”.
