I try to stay out of politics until it affects me.
It has affected me.
There are people out there trying to do real, meaningful science at places like Argonne, Sandia, Brookhaven, Fermilab, and even NASA. And I am watching as one-by-one, these labs go dead to the world, ceasing publications, tweets, and web updates.
Letting your childishness interfere with what's really important in this country does not reflect well on you. I have mostly been accepting of our government, but this is changing my mind.
Holding science hostage is not okay.
