We just finished a video (posted to a4e.org under Action / Support US Science) - trying to let people know what is being cut and lost in the Presidents Budget Request (most of NSF and NASA science). Please share if you like this!

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

This is a massive unforced error by the US/NSF. These REU programs are a major source of research training for students. Hopefully current and future scientists will thrive elsewhere, because the US looks doomed
