Today, NSF faces proposed budget cuts of more than 50%, threatening the innovation, talent, and global leadership the U.S. has built over decades. To ensure another 75 years of progress, Congress must protect the NSF and invest in America’s scientific future. #SaveNSF

My suits are suddenly very tight after a month of living in D.C. 😅 Also, I’m still reeling from a trainee calling me “sir” during the Coalition for National Science Funding (CNSF)’s congressional events around U.S. National Science Foundation advocacy that took place earlier this week 👴

This week, AIMBE hosted He (Helen) Huang (Fellow '21) and her lab members, Dr. Varun Nalam & Brendan Driscoll, from NCSU/UNC! They showcased their innovative work on robotic prosthetics to congressional staffers during an NSF Expo organized by the CNSF (CNSF)🦾🤖

2/6 Researchers at CU Boulder 🦬 work with local farmers to develop technologies to monitor soil and plant health.

3/6 At MSU, researchers are helping develop parts for the next supercomputer.

4/6 Researchers at Purdue University study quantum light that is now used in everyday items like TVs to improve image quality and color. They are also using AI to aid their discoveries.

5/6 A UC Irvine researcher was awarded a small grant from NSF — it's led to the creation of two startups and numerous jobs.

At @BigelowLaboratory, U.S. National Science Foundation funding has supported work in algae, eDNA, coastal management challenges, and changing food habits of fish, among others. Yesterday, Valerie Young, chief of staff, advocated in Washington alongside the CNSF. #SaveNSF #NSFfunded #NSF75 #AmericanScience

On Tuesday, CNSF celebrated 75 years of NSF innovation with a reception following over 75 Hill meetings with NSF-funded researchers and their representatives. Big thanks to Representative Rep. Jay Obernolte for hosting and to Congressman Bill Foster and Dr. Aaron Dominguez for their remarks!

Yesterday, CNSF celebrated 75 years of NSF innovation with a congressional showcase on Capitol Hill of #NSFFunded research from across the U.S. Big thanks to Senator Senator Chris Van Hollen for hosting, to NSB member Sudarsanam Babu for his remarks, and to the amazing researchers! #NSF75

Earlier this week, we represented CASFER at the Congressional Showcase of U.S. National Science Foundation-powered Research in Washington, D.C. Hosted by the CNSF, this bipartisan event gathered 20+ NSF-funded initiatives together, igniting fresh perspectives and renewed determination. #casfer #nsf

Earlier this week, FASEB and Dr. Stephen J. Valentine of WVU Mountaineers met with legislators on Capitol Hill as part of the Coalition for National Science Funding (CNSF) Hill Day and joined CNSF at a reception to celebrate NSF's 75th anniversary. #NSF75 #DefendResearch

Thanks to everyone who came to the #CNSF showcase on the Hill to see some of the great work supported by U.S. National Science Foundation! #UMD’s U.S. National Science Foundation-funded I-Corps Node has helped thousands of federally funded scientists and entrepreneurs launch hundreds of startups that have raised over $1 bil in funding

🆕U.S. National Science Foundation cuts don't just gut universities. Join New America, the R&D Congressional Caucus Congressman Bill Foster, and the comm_college for a briefing around the value of the #NSF for the skilled technical #workforce and #communitycolleges on June 3 from noon-1. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
