Your comment suggests that you fundamentally misunderstand the process of scientific discovery and innovation, how the American scientific ecosystem works, or how the economic and technological return on scientific investment has helped to propel the US for the last 70 years.
If you have any doubts that Trump 2.0 will destroy the American scientific workforce for years to come, this summary of cuts at NSF makes the case very strongly.
This is a real and important challenge, which is even further exacerbated if you work on microbial organisms. I can easily think of a half dozen times in my own research where we tracked down differences in phenotype between ostensibly isogenic strains from different labs that turned out to be the result of in lab evolution.
The journal in question, Environmental Health Perspectives, doesn't charge submission fees and is open access (articles are freely available to everyone to read). Its impact factor puts it among the top journals in the fields of toxicology and Public and Environmental Health (https://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/journal/ehp/journal-impact-factor).
The article notes that two other open access journals, published by the CDC are also potentially on the chopping block at HHS:
This is an odd interpretation if the details cited in the NY Times articles are correct:
> When he informed Ted of his marriage plans, Ted, who had never met Ms. Patrik, fumed, and warned him, in what David called a “vicious” letter, that he was making the biggest mistake of his life. Ted then severed virtually all communication with him.
From this quote it seems like Ted Kaczynski had already cut off most communication with his brother w/out ever meeting the wife.
I wonder how similar / different this to the Filipino martial art known as Arnis, which is also bladed weapon + stick based?
Perhaps an interesting cultural example of convergence or parallelism (depending on how you think about the shared influence of Spanish colonialism w/respect to the development of these martial arts in Columbia and the Phillipines).
Note that admissions for MSc admissions usually differ quite a lot from PhD admissions, and the criteria can be very different across fields. Things have changed significantly since 2010 as well, and are likely to change even more radically in the next admissions cycle as a result of massive funding cuts to the sciences that the US is currently experiencing. Couple this with radically restricted foreign student visas resulting from new federal policy...
So this should probably be read as "Demystifying the American Graduate Admissions Process for MSc programs in CS in the 2010s".
