Really cool to see @mcuban.bsky.social's foundation support Miami Dade College in expanding #AI education opportunities with high school partners.

This is the sort of career development efforts the Trump admin's #AIActionPlan should be expanding through our 1,000+ CCs: dcjournal.com/how-communit...

For @forbes.com I covered the semifinalists for #NSF Engines awards, a signature #CHIPS Act program. Applicants are banking on NSF having enough $ for awards.

House Approps seems happy with Engines despite a 2B cut to NSF (Senate Approps seeks to maintain $ levels)

Grateful to Kelvin Droegemier and ACE, APLU, AAU, COGR, AMCC, NACUBO, etc for coming together for proactive indirect cost reform -- alongside their lawsuits and continued advocacy on the Hill.

This level of coordination is what it'll take to survive this.

I thought the Trump admin liked Reagan and RFK's uncle?

They should listen to them on federally funded research.

A preview of a long-time-coming story I have been working on over the past year—chronicling 25 years of business and CEO-level advocacy for federal investments in fundamental #research, alongside their university partners.

This is from a 2016 WSJ & NYT full-page ad - days before Trump was elected.
