While COVID-19 related-research is now in overdrive, most other research has been slowed down or stopped due to pandemic-induced closures of campuses and laboratories. We are deeply concerned that the people who comprise the research workforce – graduate students, postdocs, principal investigators, and technical support staff – are at risk. While Federal rules have allowed researchers to continue to receive their salaries from federal grant funding, their work has been stopped due to shuttered laboratories and facilities and many researchers are currently unable to make progress on their grants. Additionally, researchers will need supplemental funding to support an additional four months’ salary, as many campuses will remain shuttered until the fall, at the earliest. Many core research facilities – typically funded by user fees – sit idle. Still, others have incurred significant costs for shutting down their labs, donating the personal protective equipment (PPE) to frontline health care workers, and cancelling planned experiments. Congress must act to preserve our current scientific workforce and ensure that the U.S.

We deeply appreciate the dual nature of your presentation this year: background information on the challenges of your profession and the personal insights you have gained about successful leadership practices in general. This year's seminar was a great success and a significant reason for this was the time, energy and knowledge you offered. Further, it is an extraordinary opportunity for our students to hear from a person of your character and accomplishments. This next generation of leaders will surely make its share of mistakes. The advantage of leadership programs like the Institute's is that we can help prevent a repetition of the same mistakes. And, in this way, we do make the future better for our children and their children. It is our hope, then, that these student body presidents will take what they learned and apply this knowledge to their work as leaders now and in the years to come. Comments like this one from a 2013 Leadership Seminar student give credence to our optimism: "I've grown so much in this experience. The speakers have been great, the Institute has been great, and this class has been fantastic. I've learned so much about leadership, government, public policy and life.

  • August 25, 2020 Vice President Michael R. Pence the White House
    August 25, 2020 Vice President Michael R. Pence The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Vice President Pence: As our nation progresses deeper into the 2020 wildfire season while grappling with the COVID- 19 pandemic, we write to you in your capacity as head of the White House Coronavirus Task Force (Task Force) to immediately address the safety needs of American farmers and farmworkers. We ask the Task Force to assist agricultural stakeholders, along with state and local governments, with the timely procurement of safety equipment, including N-95 masks. Such essential equipment will help protect those who continue to produce our agricultural products and contribute so much to our nation’s food security. In the past week, a heat wave has brought extreme temperatures to almost every corner of California. Temperatures reached 107 degrees in Santa Cruz, California, known for its moderate climate, and Death Valley broke records when it reached 130 degrees. Exposure to that type of heat can result in heat-related illnesses, ranging from exhaustion to more serious symptoms like stroke and organ damage. At the same time, excessive heat dries the landscape, making it more susceptible to fire. To date in 2020, 1,034 wildfires have burned 381,000 acres of National Forest System lands in California, and 7,330 wildfires have burned 1.1 million acres across all jurisdictions. Smoke from these wildfires contains chemicals, gasses, and fine particles that also can harm human health. In the state of California, emergency regulations stipulate that, in workplace settings with significant wildfire smoke exposure, when the current Air Quality Index (AQI) for PM2.5 particulate is 151 or greater, employers must provide proper respiratory protection equipment to their employees, including N-95 masks, or equivalent masks that filter out fine particles from the smoke.
