The US government shut down on 1 October after Congress failed to agree on a new budget. Most government scientists have been ordered to stay away from work and from scientific conferences, grant-making has halted, and academic scientists are cut off from key databases. US-funded facilities, such as the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, are beginning to shut down as their government funding dries up. The US Antarctic Program may cancel its field season. Meanwhile, students are worried the shutdown will scupper their experiments.
