Trump: that's my beautiful Alzheimer's and I won't let any pesky scientist mess with it! I stopped 19 wars! This wouldn't happen if I were a president! Covfefe!

From the article:

A U.S. District Court in September struck down the Trump Administration’s cancelation of $2.2 billion in research funding to Harvard, restoring critical grants supporting lifesaving research. But with two major federal grants ending in the near future, Yankner isn’t sure how forthcoming new rounds of funding might be.
