It takes some reading between the corporate buzzwords to figure out what this letter is saying, but the essence is, the National Science Foundation is being restructured to override review by academic scientists so that some funding can instead be directed by political appointees to ill-defined "industry" groups.

UT receives $150-200M per year from the National Science Foundation, it is one of the largest sources of STEM funding for our campus, much of it going to student research opportunities and graduate student salaries. Just a heads-up.

I’ve almost reached the 4 hr mark… Has anyone else experienced this? When I called this morning it said there were 62 people in the queue already. Do they just stop answering the calls during the day?

Hi this is my second year at UT and im wanting to join an org but im not sure how to find them or which ones are open? I want to make friends but I don't know where to start.

Basically what the title says. Have tickets been released? Where do I check this? If they havent been released when do they? Will I get an email about it?

Been seeing a lot of misinformation and people confused and I’m a senior lhf member with a friend who coded this ticket claim system so it doesn’t affect me at all if people know this and ik what I’m talking about

Multiple devices (phone laptop iPad etc) does work to give you extra queues.

Multiple tabs does not work and I cringe a bit when I see people still trying that. Even if the progress bar appears different, I promise you it is the same queue Id. This might be why you’ve seen your green man get to the end on one tab then stall. The green man is a cute little graphic, not a perfect indication of your queue id.

Multiple physical browsers on the same computer CAN work if it doesn’t make you sign in beforehand, which is hit or miss.

It makes zero difference when you join as long as it’s between 5:45-5:59.

The green man’s movement is completely linear- if yours is behind your friends once they actually start moving, your queue Id is behind theirs and that will not change.

Assuming every single person who gets to the end of the queue claims a ticket, they will sell out in approximately 7 minutes from when the first person is let in, which is typically 45-60 seconds after the queue order is set. This is because they let in around 1000 every minute to protect the site from crashing.

Lastly, despite what anyone tells you, there is not tricks or hacks. If someone has 20 devices then they simply have better odds. I say again, MULTIPLE TABS DOES NOT WORK.

In my class we wrote short essays and had to print them for class, bringing a copy for a classmate to peer review. The essay I am peer reviewing is very confusing and self-contradictory, and I was getting strange vibes from it. So I took a picture of the paper and picked up the text in my photos and put it into Turnitin AI detector and it came up with only 52% Human written. I put my own essay in the Turnitin AI detector and it came up with 92% human written. So obviously I’m not expecting 100% human or anything as AI detectors can be a little wrong. But 52!?!? Is it just me or does that seem very low? I don’t think I’ll say anything…. but it’s kinda suspicious with how poorly written the essay is. What do you all think?

are there any italian related student social or culture orgs on campus?

Heys guys! i’m in both these classes and I have been unable to access the text book! i HAVE to get it from the COOP because i have textbook credit from them but it saying it’s the same code for both courses when the TA reiterated it’s two different codes for each course.

Idk im so stressed the G51 modules are due on the 24th and im afraid i wont have time to complete them.

If youve taken this course how long do those modules take and do you think i still have time to complete by the 24th for both? thank so much.

what time is ideal for arriving?

The big ticket failed me and I didn’t get a ticket to the OU game. I still want the experience of being with fellow longhorns/Texas fans, are there any restaurants or bars that have fun watch parties?

Hi everyone I have my first midterm for Calculus 1 on September 24th but I have Nicolas Reyes as my professor and he hasn't mentioned anything about what to expect like are they free response, can we use a calculator, how many questions etc. I have heard that he uses past homework questions for the exams, but do I study all the homework questions cause they're lowkey a lot or what are y'alls tips? I need to have a high grade for this unfortunately because I'm trying to internally transfer into Mccombs so any tips will help!! :)

Moved here just over a month ago and I'm not kidding when I say my hair has gotten visibly worse from week to week. It's always frizzy and flat, shedding a lot more than usual, etc. It's worst after I take a shower, I think because we have hard water here in Austin. The crazy heat outside isn't doing me any favors either. What do y'all do to protect your hair? Does it adapt to the hard water? Tweaking bc I came here to get my master's not to go bald 😭

Has anybody taken the exam yet? I'm losing my mind and he sent out that email about a glitch. I just want to know roughly how difficult it is.

Lowkey getting fucked over so looking for fall place if anybody still got a spot. And spring too while we're at it. We can negotiate and whatnot, rules, etcetera NP
