To do this, they studied how the pigments absorb, store, & emit light, and how the processes change as the materials age. These glowing colors are not only beautiful in art & fashion; but they could also make a difference in safety applications, such as luminescent paint for airplane runways. [3/4]

LAST DAY TO TAKE ACTION: OMB’s proposed regulation shifts authority away from merit-based review systems by allowing political appointees to serve as final decision-makers in the grant approval process. Take action. Write a public comment by 11:59 PM: buff.ly/Mr96tW4

The deadline to comment is tomorrow! OMB’s proposed Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance enables abrupt suspension or termination of federal funds for ongoing research projects. Act now by writing a public comment before Monday, July 13 at 11:59 PM ET: buff.ly/Mr96tW4

Leave Grant Administration in the Hands of Experts: “OMB should preserve flexibility in award structures, maintain safeguards against arbitrary termination of research awards, and ensure that any reforms support stable and predictable administration of federally funded research programs.”

Three days left! The Office of Management and Budget’s proposed Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance contains restrictions that will stifle the scientific collaborations that catalyze innovation. Take action by writing a public comment by Monday, July 13: buff.ly/Mr96tW4

Enable Meaningful Collaboration: “Modern challenges in chemistry, biotechnology, energy, advanced manufacturing, and materials science frequently require expertise that spans scientific disciplines, institutions, and national boundaries.”
