I recently had the honour of judging at the #CWSF in Fredericton, NB, and it was inspirational to learn about the science that students across Canada are doing. I learned lots about cancer treatments, machine learning, and soil. Thanks to #SMUScience for supporting this wonderful event! cwsf-espc.ca

Very smart, high ROI initiative from the Spencer Foundation.
Providing bridge funding for canceled NSF grants:
1) directs funds to projects already screened by a top-noch review process.
2) avoids imposing proposal prep costs on researchers.
3) ameliorates the disruption from GOP sabotage.
