Mauricio Ramirez of UM giving a great talk about cool moths in the hydroptilid subfamily Stactobiinae
Illustrations from an earlier paper of a bunch of microcaddisflies that look like moths. Let’s be serious this is all just moths.

Restricting visas to 4 years would be yet another way to strangle innovation in science. Please comment TODAY. Average PhD length in biomedicine is 5-6 years in USA.
Here is what I just posted. Direct link to add your comment: www.regulations.gov/document/ICE...
International F1 and J1 visa holders are a strategic national asset. They strengthen U.S. economic growth. I am a Professor of Pediatrics at a large public university in the USA. This proposed change would cause severe damage to science and innovation in the USA. PhD students and post-doctoral fellows, who conduct most of the experimental work in research labs across the USA usually spend more than 4 years in these positions. A PhD in biomedical research in the USA typically takes 5 to 6 years to complete. This continuity ensures adequate training in the complexities of current biomedical technologies and also enables these trainees to make significant new discoveries that are translated into better health outcomes for our population and new innovations that drive economic growth. Our labs attract the world's best foreign trainees because of the world-class state of the art research here in the USA. These foreign students and post-docs are not competing with USA citizens. Rather, they add to our research enterprise, enabling faster innovation and progress. Further, many stay here in the USA after completing their training and continue to help push forward science and innovation in our country. Establishing a short 4-year limit to these visas would dramatically reduce productivity our USA research enterprise, with significant negative economic impacts for our nation.
