BioInspired Syracuse is disheartened with Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s new guidance on international students and in-person instruction. This policy deepens the uncertainty and anxiety surrounding the fall semester and the reopening of research laboratories across The Hill. The Institute recognizes the invaluable contributions international students make to their research groups, their departments, and the Syracuse community at large. The progress of science depends on a connected, collaborative network of scientists and engineers that spans the world, and our international students play an invaluable role in creating that network and accelerating scientific progress. We stand with them in this uncertain moment.
BioInspired welcomes the statement from John Liu and Amanda Nicholson in support of international students at Syracuse University. We will continue to advocate and act on behalf of international students both as individual citizens, and as an Institute, in highlighting their valuable contributions to the scientific enterprise.
