As I get closer to my time on the Hill, I look forward to discussing my career path National Research Mentoring Network on April 23. I've waited a long time to speak on going 'From the Bench to Capitol Hill.' Can't wait to be on the Hill this fall! Join the discussion: bit.ly/3JmJFlj. S&TPolicyFellowships

We had a great discussion on biomedical #research reforms in #universities and what the federal #government can do to support the #STEM pipeline. Watch the recording: youtube.com/watch?v=Iqs2MX… #policy #advocacy #postdocs #mentoring #DEI #funding

Sad to be missing the summit this year, but these tweets make it easy to follow the impactful presentations & work going on. #impacts24

Wondering which colleges and universities got earmarks in the latest federal budget? I’ve got you covered (and there’s even a searchable database, just for you.)

🆕🧵Probably one of the most important things I'll write this year:

Congress' U.S. National Science Foundation Funding Cuts Will #Hurt Community College Students and Stifle Innovation.

Congress must follow through on its #CHIPSact commitment to fund U.S. National Science Foundation!

Insightful data on #postdoc number declines in U.S. labs. Happy to contribute to a chapter in Sonali Majumdar, PhD's upcoming book on PD for int'l scientists (@ucpress) including #policy gaps and systemic changes for international postdocs in #research . Read more: bit.ly/4ae6hQE

Federal science agencies are the stewards of public funding and responsible for serving that public. That's why these agencies, including the Office of Science, must work to provide equitable access to STEM opportunities and build inclusive environments: energy.gov/science/articl…

Federal scientists play a key role in Canadian society thanks to the quality of their #research , the depth of their analyses and the insight of their advice.

New data released by the U.S. National Science Foundation underscore concerns that the academic community is facing a postdoc shortage and that early-career scientists are increasingly favoring higher paid positions outside academia. scim.ag/6lz Science Careers

Enjoyed participating in Optica's Hill Day and visiting CA offices. We advocated for S&T #funding U.S. National Science Foundation National Institute of Standards and Technology DOE Office of Science, growing the #STEMworkforce through STEM RESTART Act & Keep STEM Talent Act and reauthorizing National #Quantum Initiative Act. #research #innovation

Even for policy entrepreneurs, planting the seeds of policy change takes time. We say: you gotta start somewhere. Bring it on.

From FAS Director of Science Policy Erica Goldman in Issues in Science and Technology: Bring on the Policy Entrepreneurs.

Wonderful ERN Conference supporting #students from different backgrounds contributing to the future #STEM workforce. I discussed #scipol as a bridge between #science and #society , opportunities, skills and #legislation . #CHIPSandScience #ern2024 #research #advocacy

Two summers ago, officials at the National Science Foundation had good reason to anticipate years of healthy budget increases for the basic research agency. Then last week, Congress slashed this year’s NSF budget by 8%, to $9.06 billion. So what happened? science.org/content/articl…

The #CHIPSandScience Act ushered in unprecedented opportunities for American #manufacturing , #science , and #innovation – and yet, current underfunding leaves the outcomes at risk.

Read my latest on how federal #fellowships and #mentorship can enhance U.S. S&T competitiveness.

We are discussing the findings and implications during a livestreamed briefing at White House Office of Science & Technology Policy. LINK: youtube.com/live/wgCjW0Scl…

Office of Management and Budget After a very difficult minibus and in a tough funding environment, here's how FY25 CHIPS agency funding would look.
