⭐ Call to make STEM education relevant! ⭐
When we don't make our science relevant, we risk creating a society where facts lose meaning and expertise loses value. Creating learning experiences built around real-world issues, both teaching and learning are more engaging and fun!

Thanks @ucsdcooperlab.bsky.social for speaking up about the long term broad economics impacts of federal cuts in biomedical sciences
As Trump Goes After Universities, Students Are Now on the Chopping Block
Uncertainty about how much money colleges and universities stand to lose has led some schools to reduce the number of doctoral students, in some cases reneging on offers.

We had such momentum at our institution for reforms and multiple layers of transformative projects underway..2.5 yrs into the 6 year grant with wind in our sails. It’s just unreal.

Cryosectioning to dull the pain of having our institutional HHMI grant canceled. Not working. Crushed for my colleagues in #LCC6 who have worked so hard over the last 5 years.
