Amigos, la secuestración del presupuesto de los EEUU se postpuso, pero aún se corre riesgo de que hayan recortes extensos a muchas agencias federales, incluyendo aquellas que, cómo el NIH y el NSF, invierten billones de dólares para investigación científica. Recortes presupuestarios a estas agencias pondrían en peligro investigaciones y carreras científicas de dentro y fuera de Puerto Rico.
