An article at ScienceInsider is reporting that the new spending bill proposed by the House of Representatives is a little more science-friendly than one would have expected. Not only are the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Energy slated to receive modest budget increases in this bill, but Rick Shindell of SBIR Insider is also reporting that SBIR/STTR program funding has been reauthorized for another 6 years as part of the National Defense Authorization Act.
This is definitely a glimmer of light in what has been an otherwise dim season for scientific research and education funding - see here and here - but I'll definitely take the good news wherever I can find it.
