My REU taught me how to be a member of the broader scientific community. As a first-gen college student, my time at UT Austin gave me the institutional knowledge needed for a career in science.
I wouldn’t be here without this program. I’ll be sad to see it go.

Can we stop with the, “US scientists should move to Canada, we believe in science!”
Getting a visa to work in Canada isn’t trivial, even for highly educated people. It’s not a realistic path for the majority of scientists.

Imagine giving up tenure to work for NSF, only to be fired without cause. Absolutely devastating.
National Science Foundation fires roughly 10% of its workforce
NSF fired 168 employees, leaving the agency less equipped to fund a wide range of scientific research.

This is a room where we turn very modest salaries and budgets (and lots of coffee) into new knowledge, life-saving innovations, and technology that feeds business growth.
It's literally the loom that spins hay into gold but these numpties are suddenly worried about the cost of hay.
