Via WBUR: Feds yank funds from Harvard breast cancer, fertility, antibiotics research.

"It feels like the academic equivalent of nuclear war," said Dr. Michael Barnett, an associate professor of health policy at the school of public health. "Nukes have been launched and there's just increasingly complete devastation"

The loss of funding is a blow to researchers who've spent decades working to improve human health, to lab staff who hoped findings would launch their careers, and to patients around the world who rely on this work.

But, you know, who cares about cancer research when you can stick it to Harvard? Amiright?
