I don't know what's happening with the comment section today but this is a great article. The low hanging fruit you have outlined are definitely more effective at bringing about reform in scientific funding than running ctrl+f 'cis' to decide what to defund.

You are making the assumption that funding science research produces knowledge. I don’t think that’s true. Instead it produces ideological nonsense, like people claiming there are 18 genders. If funding science worked, we should have gain substantial knowledge over the last few decades. Instead, most of the gains came from private research, and most of the public funding produced papers nobody reads and ideologies that are insane.
