This is how to speak to every single one of those sycophants.

❗This rule would end peer review as we know it at NASA. For 80 years, experts decided which federal research gets funded based on merit. A new OMB rule would give politicians final say instead. But this isn’t over yet. Comment by July 13: www.planetary.org/ombgrantrules
