My dad's 1970 proposal to put the ERIC research database online. Today, 55 years later, I use it for my research, but probably not for long. @jillbarshay.bsky.social reports that ERIC will stop being updated this week after DOGE cut its budget, and it may fold completely. What a sad, terrible waste.

As a proud two-time UC grad, I know @UCLA is a global leader in research, innovation, education, and healthcare. A $1B federal demand would devastate the nation’s top public research university, cut off life-saving care, and halt economic growth. #StandUpForUC ucal.us/standupforuc
