Key point #6:
Policy recommendations include pairing financial aid with structural supports and aligning STEM education with workforce demands through cross-sector collaboration.

Key point #5:
National and state programs (e.g., CS for All, regional workforce initiatives) show that multi-level, coordinated investments can create inclusive, career-aligned STEM pathways.

Key point #4:
STEM capacity building must go beyond individual and institutional financial aid alone, to attend to and mitigate resource constraints for students, their programs, and their schools and colleges: supporting talent across geographies and institutional types.

Key point #3:
Evidence-based interventions—like culturally responsive teaching, mentorship, and need-based aid—improve STEM persistence and outcomes, especially for underrepresented groups.

Key point #2:
Disparities in #STEMED persist, particularly among women, racially minoritized, low-income, and rural students—due to limited access, environments, and financial barriers.
Based on evidence found: pulling back on fed investments in ed innovation & existing appropriations=a real risk

3. Fewer physics educators and programs.
4. Students wouldn’t have great science courses at uni.
5. Research community would not exist.
6. Would lose a generations of scientists.
Masterclass in connecting the personal to the political!!!

Also related: we have run dept level job searches for the last several years. Any time we don’t hire a white male, all of our notes get FOIA’d by a think tank. It’s absolutely an effort to intimidate and make people feel threatened when making hiring decisions.
