Why hasn’t the market tanked more? It’s still up 10% from last year. I mean, the US is retreating from the post war order people. Free tradeβ€”a major engine of US and world prosperityβ€”is gone. Also, we’ve alienated our allies and skirmishes all around are more likely.

I’m an NSF panel reviewer that was scheduled to meet today. Just got notice that all NSF panels were canceled today. I reviewed some innovative proposals in support of students. Devastating if these scholars don’t get to do this work. For the love of science & students I hope this is just a delay.πŸ’”
