California’s $23 Billion Plan to Restore Federal Cuts to Scientific Research

“Supporters of the proposal said it would effectively create a state version of the National Institutes of Health or the National Science Foundation, two of the nation’s largest institutional funders of scientific and public health research.”

This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday.

It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever.

Apathy Over Attacks on Higher Education Needs to Change If Americans don’t fight back against efforts to dismantle higher education, the U.S. will lose lifesaving medical research, innovation that spurs our economy and the ability to freely study science a...

Collectively, research institutions are witnessing unprecedented attempts to bully academic institutions with the administration’s ideological aims. These attempts challenge long-standing norms of academic freedom.

We cannot afford continued public apathy.

Academics and scientists take note:
We are in the fight of our lives for education and freedom. Penn and UVA are losing that fight, in part because faculty were not unified behind their leaders.

The fight for science is the fight for universities. They are the same. 🧪
