Those outside of R1 academia might not understand how thoroughly the administration's shakedown of universities like Columbia upends STEM research.
To a first approximation, universities perform a large fraction of basic research in the US, but fund almost none of it themselves. The funding - for labs, researchers, etc - comes from short-term "grants" (really contracts), mostly from the federal government, for specific projects.
" Last summer, marked by deadly extreme heat and devastating wildfires, was the warmest in at least 2,000 years, according to new research.
To do this, they used detailed sets of tree ring records from thousands of trees across nine regions of the Northern Hemisphere. "
The #Trees are not going to lie about the #Climate. We have here noticed the change and we have to deal with it daily.
Please quit voting for politicians who do not care for the #ClimateChange as they will fix nothing for you when you will be in need.
