<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hello Fellow Postdocs,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Are you worried about funding for your lab or the lab you plan to run in the future? Do you and/or your PI seem to spend all of your time writing grants? Do you know talented scientists that have left academia because of funding?</div>
<div>This is not surprising as science funding has dropped 30% in the last decade alone and is at a 40 yr low. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please take a few minutes of your time to advocate for the future of science. Come light a candle for the ideas that haven't been worked, the cures that haven't been found, the talented researchers that have left academia, the hours lost writing grants
instead of doing science. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>When: September 17 6:30 pm</b></div>
<div><b>Where: Amphitheater outside of Stata building</b></div>
<div><b><br>
</b></div>
<div>We plan to send a picture of the event to congress along with a clear message about how the science funding crisis is affecting academics.
<b>It is a super critical time as we are in danger of entering another sequester this year.</b> </div>
<div><br>
</div>
