You nailed it: it’s not an attack on “science,” it’s a disruption of a funding cartel that pretends it's apolitical and indispensable.
If Harvard really believed in the value of that research, they’d bridge the funding themselves without blinking. $50B endowment isn’t for decoration.
The real scandal isn’t that public money was pulled—
It’s that when the tap runs dry, “the smartest people on Earth” look around helplessly like they’re owed something.
Maybe science needs a market test more than a bailout.
