Grateful for our chance to attend the S-STEM San Diego conference but feel bittersweet.
It is with a heavy heart to announce that our S-STEM grant at Drexel was canceled by DOGE in violation of the congressional mandate. 23 students affected.

This is an unlawful attack on scientific progress that puts lives at risk.
