On Feb. 28, legal and policy experts convened panels discussing the future of STEM research amidst proposed cuts to federal grants and job losses among research scientists. Speakers like Chris Schaffer voiced the critical role research plays in public health and national safety, urging a proactive approach to advocacy. The event was organized by the Cornell Advancing Science and Policy Club and highlighted recent actions, including Cornell's participation in a lawsuit against NIH fund cuts, illustrating the urgent need for protective measures for research funding.
The research we do improves our health, it drives our economy, it keeps our nation safe. This is a critical thing in our country.
It's easy to make this sales pitch, but we need to go out and do it.
Participants included New York State Assemblyperson Anna Kelles, highlighting the importance of community engagement in supporting science.
Cornell announced it had joined 11 other universities challenging cuts to indirect costs associated with National Institutes of Health grants.
