Powerful graphic. In a single day on April 25, a DOGE-fueled NSF canceled 340,226 future days of research. Or 932 years. [And that’s just one of three rounds of terminations so far.]

Major Education Resource Set to Shut Down This Week

The federal Department of Education maintains an open access database of more than 2 million documents dating back to the 1960s. It will cease operating Wednesday due to DOGE cuts.

Overall, REML-based LRTs and profile-likelihood CIs performed best, but the number of studies typically must be large.
