Too uplifting not to share - senior living community has been protesting in support of medical research and student education on the corner of my campus. They are happy to share how research saved their lives. Respect your elders, they are wise (& they vote)! www.stltoday.com/news/local/c...

Great advice from @jenheemstra.bsky.social "...there is always something that you can do. And even when you don’t have all of the answers, you can have a powerful positive impact by mindfully guiding yourself and others through uncertainty." www.insidehighered.com/opinion/care...

🧪🚨 NSF's Directorate for STEM Education (EDU) has halted making nearly all new awards since inauguration day. Among many other things, EDU runs the Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP). We need to protect the education & training of the next gen of scientists #StandUpForScience Thread👇🧵
