Science funding is not government waste - see my opinion piece in the Lansing State Journal about why cuts to science funding are bad for Michigan. @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/opinio...
Viewpoint: Scientific research is not waste. Funding cuts will harm Michiganders, economy
In 2024, over $1 billion in NIH funding went to Michigan, supporting $2.57 billion in economic activity, according to United for Medical Research.

Nerd alert: My partner gave me a "kids" microscope for my birthday, basically a little hand held dissecting scope. I think everyone should have one of these to bring with them on walks/hikes and just use around to house to look at all the amazing micro-things around them! (Image: moss)
