When the United States Congress forced a 16-day government shutdown, nearly all government research funding was put on hold. Now that the latest budget impasse is over, we'll discuss the lingering effects of that funding gap. We're joined by Andrew Rosenberg, Director of the Center for Science and Democracy, John Sonntag, Instrument Team Lead for NASA's Operation IceBridge,  J. Marshall Shepherd, Director for the Program in Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Georgia, and Casey Dreier, Advocacy and Outreach Coordinator for the Planetary Society, to learn how long-term projects were disrupted by the shutdown, and how they're trying to recover.
