The horrors persist, yet so do we. You're gonna be able to look at 2026 in a decade or so and be really proud of yourself for getting through it

Hope so. If humanity makes it I guess.

We'll get there. I believe that, and if you're going to med school there's at least a part of you that also believes we're gonna keep going for a while. I think you should be really proud of yourself for surviving all the nonsense in the meme and still going to med school and trying to be part of the solution to the state of the world right now

The National Science Board (NSB) of the United States establishes the policies of the National Science Foundation (NSF) within the framework of applicable national policies set forth by the president and Congress. The NSB also serves as an independent policy advisory body to the president and Congress on science and engineering research and education issues. The Board has a statutory obligation to "...render to the President and to the Congress reports on specific, individual policy matters related to science and engineering and education in science and engineering, as Congress or the President determines the need for such reports," [1] (e.g., Science and Engineering Indicators; Report to Congress on Mid-scale Instrumentation at the National Science Foundation). All board members are presidential appointees. NSF's director serves as an ex officio 25th member and is appointed by the president and confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
