After Pentagon Ends Contract, Top-Secret Scientists Group Vows To Carry On
Headline should read "after funding cut, scientists look for new funding".  Not quite as clickbaity though...<p>ETA: I used to work at a government lab.  I've <i>never</i> heard a contractor say "they made the right choice.  My work is obsolete/irrelevant/a waste of money." At the end of the day, people have livelihoods to maintain.  Their work is always "needed now more than ever".  Some of it actually is.  Some of it isn't.
