Hello Tufts Neutrino folks:
I wanted to personally encourage each of you to submit comments
on the proposed changes to how the US federal government awards
and manages research funding, if you haven't already. These
changes would be absolutely catastrophic for science in general,
and HEP in particular. These changes would likely have
impacts on you personally. Some news coverage that lays out
the stakes, if you aren't aware:
https://www.aip.org/fyi/white-house-plan-to-take-over-federal-grantmaking-draws-criticism-from-science-groups
In order to make these rule changes, the government is required
to allow public comments, and to respond to each of them
individually. Anyone who is directly impacted (regardless of
citizenship) is allowed to contribute. If the comments are
insufficiently well responded to, the Supreme Court has (recently)
ruled that that's grounds for a court to set the regulations
aside.
APS has prepared a website that helps you understand the issues
and prepare comments, which I encourage you to use:
https://www.aps.org/initiatives/advocate-amplify/policy/federal-grants-rule-change
Note that it's essential that comments be unique (how
they affect you) and not generated by AI; otherwise
they can be lumped together or dismissed outright by the
administration.
The deadline for comment submission is June 13, one week from
today.
