Science : Consistent with their pre-election promise to rein in government spending, House Republicans yesterday announced a budget plan that includes double-digit cuts for civilian research agencies. If the plan were passed, the pot of money that funds NSF, NASA, NIST, and NOAA would be reduced by 16% compared with President Obama’s 2011 budget request, which the previous Congress failed to act on. Science‘s Jeffrey Mervis outlines the cuts.
