Interesting article from the Washington Post about how the shutdown is impacting scientific research. Bluntly put if it lasts much longer the effect is going to be castastrophic. http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/shutdown-sequestration-cuts-zap-scientists-and-researchers/2013/10/02/bdfb0896-2ab6-11e3-b139-029811dbb57f_story.html
NIH trials turn away new patients as shutdown cuts zap scientists, researchers Much of the governments sprawling scientific and technological machinery has been turned off, and researchers and engineers fear that a prolonged shutdown could imperil their projects and create lasting harm to U.S. innovation. Sick people hoping to join clinical trials at the National Institutes of Health are being turned away. Nearly three-fourths of NIH employees have been furloughed. Patients already enrolled in NIH clinical trials will continue to receive care. If the shutdown continues, it could affect about 200 people per week who, under normal circumstances, would be admitted to new trials, said John T. Burklow, an NIH spokesman. About 30 of those new patients would be children, and about 10 would be children with cancer, he said.
