Guest “DOGE, baby, DOGE!” by David Middleton,
I receive daily emails from the American Association of Science of America (News From Science), listing some of their latest headlines. I subject myself to this torture because it’s a great source of material for me to mock and ridicule in WUWT posts. This morning’s News From Science was a treasure trove of ridicule-worthy material.

Earth’s inner core might harbor volcanoes and landslides
Spacecraft probing cosmic evolution spies an ‘Einstein ring’
Alzheimer’s scientist resigns after university finds ‘data integrity concerns’ in papers
How a cancer researcher lost a gender-related grant to Trump’s executive orders
‘My boss was crying.’ NSF confronts potentially massive layoffs and budget cuts
NIH slashes overhead payments for research, sparking outrage and lawsuit
Congress could soon erase Biden rules on archaeology, climate, and the environment
‘Madness’: Trump freeze on global HIV prevention efforts sparks disbelief, anger

Since I am too cheap to actually subscribe, I can only get access to a few articles per month. So I zeroed in on headlines 5 and 6, because 5 seemed to really justify 6.
