Joshua, this is an excellent essay, clear, concise and informative, and so are others on your substack. I shared it with my friends and included in emails to congress representatives.
I'm waiting to see if my study section next week will meet or not, but I assume we won't know until shortly before. I already have put in ~40-60 hours of work reviewing the proposals (multiply that by 20-25 people on the study section). If it has to be rescheduled, there's a chance some people won't be able to participate (especially if this drags out into May or later), meaning their reviews will be thrown out. Who's going to volunteer to serve given these uncertainties?
