NSF just cancelled ALL grants to Harvard researchers. That’s right - physics, astronomy, bio, CAREER - ALL. Professors won’t get paid. Postdocs won’t get paid. PhD students won’t get paid. This is insane!

If they can do this to Harvard, they can do this to your school.

Welp. I'm a postdoc whose NIH funding source has just been cancelled in a mass grant termination targeting Harvard. We've been using these funds to study how puberty affects the brain and adolescent mental health.

Indigenous communities have historically faced barriers in genetic healthcare and research. So how can we build a path toward equitable care?

That's a topic we invite you to explore with us on Wednesday, March 19 as we welcome Dr. Laura Arbour to campus.
