without nsf

David Miller has been an incredible resource for me in the past few months. I appreciate his work and advocacy for STEM.

Below is a post of his asking to share stories and experiences with NSF and, in particular, what it would mean for me to be #WithoutNSF.

speaking at a rally for higher education at msu

I made some remarks at our recent rally for higher education at MSU on April 17, 2025. Here’s the text of what I said.

intro

Afternoon, my friends.

First off, thanks to GEU, UNTF, and UTSF for organizing this rally and thanks to all y’all for being here today.

I know that some of our colleagues can’t be here, and we appreciate y’all standing up for them.

I’m Danny Caballero; I’m the Lappan-Phillips endowed chair of physics education at MSU, a professor in our Physics and Computational Science programs, and a labor organizer with UTSF.

rally for higher education

It’s been quite a while since I last posted, in part, because Ive had some travel for work, but also because I’ve been working with others to organize a rally for higher education this Thursday, April 17th at 3pm on the steps of Michigan State’s John A. Hannah building.

The Union of Tenure System Faculty, the Union of Nontenure Track Faculty, and the Graduate Employees Union at Michigan State University are organizing this rally to combat the multimodal attack on higher education.
