the effects of a government shutdown on
science are far-reaching there's a huge
amount of stuff that's just being shoved
to the side
the longer the shutdown goes the broader
the spread is people who are really
impacted by this so there's a lot of
different ways that it affects our jobs
what we're trying to do missing that
crucial field piece is pretty high
impact on our productivity things like
this make it really hard to plan
[Music]
there are many examples where things
happen only one time during the year
[Music]
that window is being missed right now by
the inability of scientists to go to
work
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
we are trying to study these
environmental chemicals now because
people are being exposed to them right
this minute and so the more time it
takes us to figure out which ones are
harmful or not that leads to longer
delays and helping us help the public
and that's concerning
[Music]
[Applause]
