Cannot emphasize this too strongly.
So: In 2017, Congress made this happen:
NIH: Proposed 22% cut --> 9% increase
NSF: Proposed 11% cut --> 4% increase
NOAA: Proposed 16% cut --> 4% increase
Obviously, 2025 is not 2017. A lot is diff now. But still:
💰 Congress, not WH, sets budgets.
📞 Public support & calls to Congress matter.
