<p>Please take a moment to consider emailing Ohio Senator Rob Portman to reject proposed DOE funding cuts. Our own Prof. Jessica Winter has written an op-ed in The Hill that APS is urging his office to read. </p>

<p>The link below will send you to the APS portal for sending a pre-drafted email to Sen. Portman's office. </p>

The Trump administration has proposed a dramatic 17% budget cut for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science. Your Senator, Rob Portman, needs to hear from you that he should reject that plan.<br>
<br>
Senator Portman <a href="http://aps.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1c2ffbf7f7d8f7439923005ce&id=380bb7f21e&e=5d2f87a6e1" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102); text-decoration: underline;">
has an influential role with the Trump Administration</a>. Ohio State professor Jessica O. Winter has written an op-ed in The Hill that makes a strong case for federal investment in science. Winter, associate director of the Ohio State Physics-led Center for
Emergent Materials, writes: “As details on the spending plan become clearer in the coming weeks, I urge Sen. Portman and other members of Congress to follow their earlier wise decision and provide the [DOE] Office of Science the support they have said it deserves.”

Read the op-ed here.</a><br>
<br>
<strong>As an APS member in his state, please take a moment to contact his office to urge him to read Dr. Winter’s op-ed.</strong> Current data suggests that tweets are the most effective method, followed by phone calls and emails.</td>
