Another day testing the limits of resilience. The Alexandria NSF building was designed for the NSF merit review process (gold standard), complete with a floor devoted to panels. Now we aren’t allowed to have in person panels. The loss of US science leadership will haunt this country for decades.

Nice to hear Bill and Sam speaking about NSF.

Had a very short layover in ORD tonight and the gate next to mine included my brother in law! So nice to see him on personal travel in Chicago for 25 minutes.

Not a great day at the office.
