- Reposted by David Oriola50+% cut to the US National Science Foundation budget is staggering. These include cuts for research in Chemistry. Physics, Geology, Math, Engineering, Computer Science. Scientific discoveries and training of our next generation of scientists and engineers are halved. How is that helping the US?
