Technically not a complete cancellation of #NIH funding. A fuller explanation of the "indefinite suspension" by Max Kozlov & Nature magazine: "Without advisory-committee meetings, the NIH cannot issue research grants, temporarily freezing 80% of the agency’s US$47-billion budget that funds research across the country and beyond."

"In an interview that will air this SUNDAY at 12pm ET, Jen asked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau if #Trump’s '51st state' #threats came up during his visit to Mar-a-Lago... Trudeau: “… When I started to suggest, ‘Well, maybe there could be a trade for Vermont or California for certain parts,’ he immediately decided that it was not that funny anymore, and we moved on to a different conversation.”

Piñatex is a new type of eco-friendly fabric that is made from the waste of pineapple farms. Prior to the creation of this new material, the waste was either left to rot or burned. This new method of processing helps to reduce those practices and hopefully one day eliminate them completely. Most notably, Piñatex requires no additional land, water or fertilizer. https://prototype.fashion/pinatex-fabric-from-pineapples/
