Urgh!!

Today I learned that my friend T's younger son, who's finishing his undergraduate degree at the University of New Mexico, had been accepted to our local university's PhD program in theoretical physics, but the university has now withdrawn its offer because they're not confident they'll be able to sustain the funding for it! Thanks to our "leader" we no longer support advanced sciences. GAH.

I am so sad about what's happening in the US. You are going to lose so many scientists and doctors. Europe and even the UK will no doubt benefit from America's loss, but seeing so many valuable research programmes terminated is heartbreaking.

My feelings alternate between horror and disbelief. It is so very strange.

So frustrating.

I hope another reasonably nearby program will take him. It would have been so nice to have him back in town, though.
