‘I grew up in Imperial Beach with a loving single mom’ and ‘federal need-based grants made college possible.’ Meriah DeJoseph, now at Stanford, describes how NIH & education funding opened doors, and how proposed cuts threaten that path for students in California & beyond. 🧪🏠

Thanks to @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social initiative for inspiring me to write this op-ed for my hometown paper, where I reflect on how federal funding shaped my path in science—and what’s at stake if we don’t protect those opportunities for the next generation.

First post here 🦋—figured I’d start by sharing some recent work out of postdoc! These preprints are still coming down the pipeline, so feedback is welcome, and I’ll post bigger threads for each upon publication. Links below 👇
