budget cut and layoff at Princeton plasma physics lab (DoE)

https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2025/03/princeton-news-research-pppl-job-cuts-layoffs-graduate

PPPL conducts research across plasma applications, and is managed and operated by Princeton University for the Department of Energy.

Rumor has it that all postdoc were let go so current graduate students can have funding to graduate.
