Abdalati Visits Washington, D.C. to Advocate for Funding Science
On April 10, Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) Director and Geography Professor Waleed Abdalati, along with Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) Director Dan Baker met with staff members of baby直播app congressional delegation to discuss the impacts of science reductions in the President鈥檚 2025 budget request to the interests of the State of baby直播app, its educational institutions, and businesses. They met with staff from the offices of Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper and Congressmen Neguse and Pettersen. While the primary focus was on risks to Earth and Space Science at NOAA and NASA, the impacts of the broader reductions were discussed as well. During that same visit to Washington DC, Abdalati, along with several directors from other NOAA-funded cooperative institutes met with staff from the House Science Committee to also discuss the implications of federal budget challenges on the interests of the institutes, our universities, and the nation.
