As you probably know, the congressional deficit supercommittee is currently working to find $1.2T in deficit reduction for the next 10 years. All federally funded R&D is at risk of cuts… if the supercommittee deadlocks, the cuts will likely be something like 9% across the board. The MIT Science Policy Initiative has written an open letter – the Stand With Science letter – to congress and is asking as many graduate students as possible to add their voice to it.
