Submission + - U.S. House/Senate slash science budgets (sciencemag.org) 1
An anonymous reader writes: As reported by Science magazine, Congress has cut science funding for fiscal year 2008, in spite of the earlier announced presidential initiative to increase funding for basic research to improve the future economic competitiveness of the U.S. Funding is at best flat for some agencies such as NIH, Homeland Security, and NIST. Other agencies like the DOE Office of Science received severe cutbacks of $380 million. In particular, in spite of previous international commitments, funding for the ITER fusion reactor experiment is completely cut off. The NOVA neutrino oscillation experiment at Fermilab is also cancelled, as well as R&D on the planned International Linear Collider. The Fermilab operating budget is cut by 20%, and may result in mass layoffs.
