BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

The Big, Ugly, Amoral Law imposes student loan caps that could shrink the future physician workforce, especially Black & Indigenous doctors (and contribute to worse health inequities). With med school debt often >$200,000, this law may lock many out of the profession before they even begin.

If you are asking yourself "will my participation/protest/vote/phone call/donation make any difference at all? Should I bother?" then they're already on a path to win.
