NSF programs indirectly impact millions of people, reaching PreK-12 students and teachers, the general public, and researchers
The actual impact to the pipeline may be far larger.
Graduate students provide enormous value for their cost in funding. I’d like to better understand how k-12 students contribute here. Those students make up 88.7k of the reduction. How much do these students contribute and at what cost?
I’m in no way against inspiring the next generation. My question is aimed at correctly interpreting this table. The NSF is a worthwhile expense, but let’s understand the data we have.

She’s complaining about the phrase “giving time back”. It’s a phrase used in corporate settings that is often used for small amounts of time.

They contained the impact. Root causing or “understanding” should come after impact mitigation. If needed find a safe way to reproduce the bug without customer impact.
