"Gov. Josh Green said in a news release today, ”The current attack on science is unprecedented and I am seeing firsthand how it will devastate public health on both a national and local level. It’s unconscionable to threaten critically important work in this way, and it’s part of a systematic approach to cast doubt on science in America.”

Hawaii Attorney General Lopez said the plaintiffs alleged that NSF’s directive to cap indirect costs at 15% would devastate scientific research at universities throughout the country, and result in critical projects being abandoned, staff being laid off, and the end of research essential to national security, public health and economic stability, according to the state’s release."
