Dr. Sarah Fortune: ‘Right Now It Is Disaster Mode’ at Harvard Research

‘A lot of the work today is just the day to day business of figuring out how to move all of that forward’

EXCERPT:

FORTUNE: "Right now, it is disaster mode, and we‘re just trying to put one foot in front of another. Honestly, because the federal government defaulted on all of their payments to Harvard starting in April, even before the contracts were terminated. So we‘re in this odd position of having to figure out how to pay the people we owe money to, where the federal government is not going to repay us those costs. And so a lot of the work today is just the day-to-day business of figuring out how to move all of that forward. And then, yes, all of that research, my research, decade of work is unraveling right now, and I honestly have not had time to grieve that. I think that will come later."
