Congrats to Ge Group undergrad Colin Raddant who was selected as one of the inaugural recipients of the UNCC Scholarly Undergraduate Research Grants (SURG)! Colin is applying for graduate programs this fall, so keep an eye out for his application 👀

this is the kind of thing that got me into protein folding research (though it was less literal paper folding than this, it was more "this reminds me of origami and l like origami a lot maybe I should do this") so Love this

Going to a conference and hope someone posts about your talk? Make it easy for the posters!!
Tips:
1. Include your handle at beginning and end
2. Make clear what is published/not
3. Have a conclusions slide with key message
4. Highlight new preprint or publication if relevant

🧪 UPDATE: All 63 House appropriators will meet **this Thursday** about science funding levels.
They'll deliberate on the proposed multi-billion dollar cut to NSF's budget ($9.0B --> $7.0B).

🧪 CRITICAL UPDATE: The House draft version is now out.
✅ Like the Senate's version, there's no cut to NASA's budget.
❌ There's a 23% proposed cut to NSF's budget.

🧪 BREAKING (good news): Senate subcommittee says NO! to Trump's proposed slashes to NASA & NSF funding.
Today, the subcommittee said to keep NASA + NSF funding at $33.9 billion, the same as in FY24.
See 7:15 below. Full Senate appropriations committee meets tomorrow about it.
