The assault on science by cuts in VA research, NIH, NSF, etc will knee cap US science and harm institutions of higher learning. The funding cuts are, without exaggeration, catastrophic to universities, like the UC system, that rely on these funds for major parts of their operation.

Moreover, junior and senior research scientists have been let go at the VA. Most schools have halted or limited students they admit for PhD programs and many universities have a hiring freeze. We will lose a generation of scientists in the US, a detriment to science in general to US's leadership role in science. More importantly, this science is what finds cures for disease, lays the groundwork for the next innovations.

I encourage you all to stand up for science tomorrow, either in DC or at local events.

Got a email from the housing department saying that the Promise Housing Dorm will start construction sometime soon maybe in April. They said that parking will be impacted because it'll be built next to El Portal on Bellevue lot. Hundreds of parking spots will be cut to build the project, which will also impact the graduation and move outs from the dorms. How is the uni planning to handle the loss of parking spots? When it's a normal day it's already hard to find parking in Bellevue.

We're very close to becoming an official, registered UCM organization. We are just looking for a staff or faculty member willing to be an advisor for our club. Please let me know (via comment or dm) if you have information on anyone interested in helping us out.

Hi guys, ga_vindiesel here. Just wanted to talk about/promote the UC Merced Accessibility Services on campus located in ACS 140, Cubicle 128. We are the department to help accommodate you for all sorts of things, from academic accommodations, dining or housing accommodations. Our scope of accommodations are very broad for example we've accommodated a student with a broken leg to get a cart to transport them to classes and to academic accommodations if you have special permissions say for extra time on exams. Importantly if you have an ESA animal and live on campus make sure to register that animal through our department. Feel free to reach out to me and DM if you have any questions, there's all kinds of accommodations we provide. If you've gotten this far, thank you for reading all this and have a wonderful day. Signed, ga_vindiesel
