“What Can Be Done?
Spread the word...

Advocate for your institutions…Public outcry can and does make a difference.

Engage with lawmakers…make it clear that gutting research infrastructure is a non-starter

Collaborate with other institutions-…it’s an existential threat to research as we know it.”
