Title: I have an office in a university research-based office complex.

I have an office in a university research-based office complex.
I'm retired and only stop in occasionally to work on my own projects these days. Earlier this week, I asked one of the residents of the office complex if anyone in the group had had a research grant yanked by DOGE. He told me, no, not yet, but that one of the researchers had an NSF [National Science Foundation] grant that he was afraid to start work on for fear that his funding would be yanked mid-project. I wonder how many other researchers there are out there that find themselves in the same fearful situation. We know that DOGE has yanked the funding for a lot of research grants in progress or before they can even start, but how much more already-funded research is going undone these days because of this fear?

LPC, but not a Noob, been infesting DU since 2008. Not sure what Former General Petraeus did in or before 2008 to earn this DU-Denizen's ire. Was it just for working with the GWB Administration in Iraq?

That aside, generalbetrayus post is about some "scientist" (janitor? :-) ) fearing something that might never happen. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

     I think Petraeus did something marginally disagreeable at some point and they found a rhyme. Like kids do. Same intellect that declares that Batman smells and Robin laid an egg.

Petraeus was appointed head of the CIA by OhBummer, and had to resign a year or two later because he was having an affair, but that all happened several years after generalbetrayus joined DU.

The should be afraid of having funding yanked if it relates to the queer agenda.
