I am reviewing a simply amazing paper from a relatively young US-based lab, which is in danger of shutting its doors later this year. My emotions are all over the place. The fact that this does not uniquely identify the lab Iâm referring to just deepens the tragedy of this moment in US science.

The data is in: the NIH goalposts have shifted. What were once almost certain fundable scores have become coin flips and what used to be likely grants have become aspirational, leading to fewer awards. Another manifestation of how HHS policies have led to fewer awards and less science.

The political lesson of the last 20 years is that when putatively left-of-center parties promise voters hope and change, but then deliver more of the same, it ends up creating the backlash conditions for right-wing authoritarianism. Itâs a very straightforward truism.

The lesson for all the students out there is that science is a community project. Most of us make individually small contributions to this project. Success is measured at the collective level. Many of our professional (and personal) dysfunctions could be fixed by more fully embracing this view.
