My advice to you would be for the research community to come together with one approach to this committee, and that picking one off against one another has never really worked.
I think it is really extraordinary for those of us who are trying to fight for more social science research, and actually very hard for me to do my job, when this government seems to think social science research is a swear word, and you come in attacking a program that is so important to other researchers in this country.
