Today marks a potentially massive change in the science and research policy of the United States. That seems to warrant a special episode, including students from across a wide array of fields calling in to discuss how their futures might be impacted. Side note: at 29:52, I mention not being certain Trump will last 4 years. Based on his failure to put his many corporate investments in a blind trust, I believe he will be impeached before the end of his term.
