Here’s some of what scientists told us:

"The past five months are by far the worst I've experienced in my science career (from grad student to professor) over the last 30-plus years because we no longer know if there will be support for the work that we do, because science and research has…” +

Importantly, there’s still time to fix this. 1/2

For decades the program has supported writers who would become big names – Alice Walker, Michael Cunningham, Louise Erdrich and more. Last week, applicants got an email saying the program would be no more.

Daily/weekly art, this time with a conservation theme!

Campaigning for minerals, both by learning/sharing cool facts and by being goofy!

September has good things in store.

The thing about the occupation of DC that you're probably not hearing about as much as the checkpoints and the troops on the streets: our evenings are full of helicopters circling. It's 10:25pm, and the police copter has been circling for half an hour. It's like this every night now. It sucks.

If you are or know any compelling math educators (especially undergrad) or communicators in the NYC area who might be willing to speak, please contact me or send them my way. It's so crucial we know how to effectively educate and share the beauty and importance of our work, especially these days!!!
