Making progress on these key issues in galaxy evolution and black hole growth is exactly the kind of research that will not happen (or at minimum be extremely limited) under the current administration’s grant cancellations, funding cuts, and staffing reductions at the NSF and NASA, the two of which account for almost all of US astronomy research funding.
