NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP)

If you are a grad student in their second year, hoping to apply for a GRFP, the eligibility requirements have changed. You are now ineligible. www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo.... This is an outrage. The government willy-nilly changes the way things are done and it hurts students.

AOC and Bernie in front of the rally crowd in Denver

AOC and Bernie in front of the rally crowd in Denver

Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

For the first time in 10 years, a child has died from measles in the United States.

Vaccines prevent measles.

Americans need to hear our top health officials say clearly: every child in America should get vaccinated against this terrible disease.
