My reaction: why is the U.S. government trying to kneecap science in this country? This is a feel good story for sure. But advancing science should not have to rely on unfunded researchers pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps. For every story of a scientist that figured out how to keep going after their funding was pulled there are 10 figuring out if they should apply to law or medical school.

  It's almost as if the current government is trying to cause as much damage to the country as it can.
