Science in Mind for Future President?

I definitely feel that it would benefit everyone if science was integrated into the Presidential Debate. It gives voters the opportunity to get an insight in the candidate's knowledge of science and their understanding of it's importance in the everyday life of Americans and its economy. Mostly, it would be interesting to hear what they plan to do for scientific and technological research when they are in office and how they plan to implement those changes to enable progress in research.

It's going to be a long semester

So much to do in so little time! Classes are okay, except for one class and I'm considering dropping but I'm letting the lines settle down at Academic Services. Anyway, REU research is going strong, lots of intresting things are happening in the lab but more on that later.

Lots of school and lots of research, what to do when you feel so overwhelmed?
