APS has a site that makes it easy to let your congresspeople know that you are concerned (read FREAKING OUT) about the proposed cuts to science funding in the US 🧪⚛️
The president's budget proposal cuts billions in funding from the DOE Office of Science, NIST, NASA, and the NSF — but there’s still time to change it. Tell your lawmakers why they should stand up for science using our letter-writing toolkit, targeted to your state: go.aps.org/3RP9EWF
