I want to see every scientific society going into emergency mode. This is a good example of how an organization can flex its specific power in a time of great need. What else is possible?
The AMS is temporarily opening its career services to all who need them, regardless of membership status, and offering dues waivers and meeting registration fee reductions for those impacted by job loss due to changes in the government.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

Love that my dogs spilled an entire coffee on my open laptop today, completely frying it. Especially fun that when I handed it to IT, it dripped a little coffee out and he just said I would never be seeing it again. Happy end of semester to me! 🫠
