The war against 'woke' could end US science as we know it

# Summary The Office of Management and Budget has proposed a 412-page rule change that would grant political appointees oversight and veto power over $1 trillion in federal grants across 42 agencies, potentially halting scientific research in the United States. The rule would prohibit federally-funded research involving DEI initiatives or "gender ideology," require all grants to align with presidential priorities, and restrict scientists' international collaboration and conference attendance. The proposal remains open for public comment until July 13th, and Congress could still block it, as the changes would affect not only scientists but also funding for healthcare, education, housing, and other critical programs nationwide.
