One of grants frozen at Cornell: $6.7M (4 yrs) to develop heart pumps for babies born w/ heart defects.

It took decades of work to get to point of prepping device for in-human clinical trials. No private company could do this.

The cruelty of the Trump administration is heartbreaking. So to speak.

After receiving a stop-work order from the federal government, the future of a device to help children with heart defects is uncertain.

Would you please consider reposting this? The Department of Education needs to hear from as many people as possible that it is not acceptable in the year of our Lord 2025 to offer only two gender options. Thank you.
Love, Julie/Mommy of a non-binary college student
Department of Education FAFSA changes are open for public comment. The changes include requiring trans students to misgender themselves and removes the nonbinary option on forms. Note: comment period is 60 days, and comments are publicly visible.

Outside of USAID headquarters, Senator Brian Schatz:

"If you want to change an agency, introduce a bill and pass a law. You cannot wave away an agency that you don't like or that you disagree with by executive order, or by literally storming into the building and taking over the servers."

For those who care about education, here’s your graph for calls today on federal grants being frozen. Please if you are in a state that went for Trump, CALL CONGRESS, and point out that it hurts your state disproportionately MORE.

How can teachers use texts to build on students’ thinking after investigations, supporting further sensemaking rather than “providing the answer?” #NGSS #SciEd
