Thank you to the CA State Senate for passing @SenJohnLaird’s SJR-4 urging Congress to reverse harmful NIH funding cuts. CA currently gets $5B+ annually, with $2B+ going to UCs & CSUs. These cuts threaten future treatments, current research & jobs. #CALeg #CaliforniaLegislature

Had a great visit to Hartnell College’s Alisal campus, where students are gaining hands-on experience in career pathways like agriculture (agro) business, automotive repair, and welding. Programs like these are building a strong workforce for the future!
