Dear @CongressmanGT Pennsylvania's 15th congressional district received $89m in funding from NSF in 2024. That $ paid for salaries, state income tax, rents, property taxes, and sales taxes. Federal shut downs hurt PA communities and cost PA jobs.

Mathematical models have provided a general framework for understanding the dynamics and control of infectious disease. Many compartmental models are limited in that they do not account for the range...
