With the bill to reopen government signed into law by Prez Trump, NTEP will receive $250,000 recurring (every yr) federal funding, helping its bottom line. NTEP had relied on industry for 95% of its funding ...thanks to everyone that wrote support letters and helped this effort! – at Beltsville, MD

Busy Sunday at Monterey CC in Palm Desert. Researchers always come up with new ideas, so this means starting a side project for new graduate students. @USGAGrnSection
