Summary: This week’s message reflects on the uncertainty and disruption caused by recent shifts in academic research funding, reminding us of the importance of staying focused on our purpose. Chancellor Dehghani compares the current situation to past challenges, drawing from his experience at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. Despite the chaos, he urges us to stay grounded in our mission, adapt to new opportunities, and continue leading with resilience.
