"...there are also broad prohibitions against any use of federal funds for collaboration with a whole list of countries, starting with China. Any use at all – paper publication charges, travel, reagents, doesn’t matter." Yikes! The continued dismantling of US science... #Chemsky 🧪

The irony is that this is just going to blow up in their face because the best science is conducted via international collaborations. They are, of course, idiots.
