This, this is what dumb narcissistic dangerous idiots do when given the keys to government….what a legacy to have

This isn’t saving money in any way, it will end up costing the US govt MORE, plus you’ll lose all your good scientists and researchers, setting you back YEARS.

I forgot to join in last night, so have an early(ish!) morning pic for #duvetknowitschristmas and don’t forget to donate to centrepoint (you can find the link if you search the hashtag!) I tick off plastic storage boxes and wrapping paper!

Someone called this mass exodus from Twitter ‘the fall of the Broman Empire’ and I died laughing. 💀

Oh those were the days! In my first lab we used to fight for control over the radio/CD player (so old!) but I was always overruled except on days when I was the only one there - 80’s hair/classic rock was ALWAYS my choice, makes the day go faster!

I LOVE THIS!!!!
