Obama fumbles response to gulf spill

The recent Gulf oil spill has become more than a tragedy, and the Obama administration has more than botched the response. This crisis illuminates the administration’s lack of leadership. Unfortunately for Americans, we see a president too tangled in a web of bureaucracy, ego and inexperience to appropriately handle the situation.

Why should the great eco-Gulliver be ensnared by some Lilliputian oil spill lapping ‘round his boots?”

Cutting post-doctoral health care benefits will hurt research

We are writing as current postdoctoral associates and concerned members of the UF family to communicate concerns about the upcoming change in postdoctoral health care benefits. We believe this represents a step backward in UF’s mission to become a top-tier research institution. Cutting postdoctoral benefits will make UF much less competitive in attracting the best and brightest researchers. Postdoctoral associates are the driving force behind all aspects of research, including research training for undergraduates and graduates. Postdoctoral associates complete a majority of the research that brings millions of dollars in federal research grants, and they write a significant portion of those grants.
