Hey there! Have you ever wondered who helps scientists discover amazing things? In the United States, there’s a special group called the National Science Foundation (NSF). They support lots of cool research in science, technology, engineering, and math!
Recently, more than 140 people who work at the NSF wrote a letter because they are worried. They sent it to a member of Congress named Zoe Lofgren. They are concerned that some recent changes might be hurting science. 😢
They said that important research funding is being cut, and some scientists are losing their jobs. This could make it harder for new discoveries to happen!
They asked Congress to help protect the NSF and make sure it can keep supporting scientists. They want to make sure science stays strong for everyone!
Guess what? Scientists from other places like the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and even NASA have also spoken up. They all want to make sure science is supported. 🌟
It’s like when superheroes team up to save the day! These scientists are teaming up to save science. Isn’t that cool? 🦸♂️🦸♀️
Science helps us understand the world, cure diseases, explore space, and so much more. Supporting science is super important for our future!
