This Stand With Science effort is a advocacy call to action
specifically for science and engineering graduate students. I'm
not sure if it's a good fit for your programs, but if you decide
it is feel free to forward this along to them. They could sign
the Stand With Science letter to Congress, submit a picture to the
effort, or even produce their own video in support of federal
R&D funding. This kind of effort is especially critical in
the coming weeks, as sequestration approaches on March 1.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
