The Republican Tax Bill Will Devastate Science
I have great faith in our nation’s scientists and engineers. I have seen what we can accomplish when we put the best and brightest in a room together and give them the resources they need to solve tough scientific, engineering and mathematical problems to better our society.

Our country is too good to forsake a brighter future for everyone in the name of tax cuts for the few at the top.
