to excel.

I think that's what that's what we're focused on.

I think you gotta do two things.

I think one, you gotta make sure that we're we're encouraging young Americans to to go into these STEM fields and and for those who do want to stay, allow them to sort of pursue legal pathways to to stay here.

Well, I don't think I said it's in conflict with the policy.

I mean, I think I think we we as basics, like before we even start thinking about anyone else, like we have to get our house in order about how we can get more Americans to to pursue this stuff.

Again, these numbers around computer science should be very alarming for people.

The idea that, you know, seven out of ten

STEM-related PhD candidates in the United States are not American.

Like anyone can look at that and say, like, that just doesn't look right given the way that we've been educating Americans for so many decades.

And I think we have a huge opportunity through a lot of these science programs to sort of bring bring folks back in.

I think one thing that I discovered kind of in writing this book and this report was, you know, we used to have programs at the National Science Foundation that would actually

Actually support and encourage gifted and talented students in American high schools and middle schools.

Those were stopped.

For some reason, encouraging high-performing young students to pursue STEM in America was something that an actual decision was made by the government to no longer fund that.

And I think those are sort of discouraging actions that we want to turn around.

Why is that?

It feels like it it's sort of part of this larger sort of DI effort.

I mean, they were they were, you know, you can imagine, um, and you probably know well being California.

I mean, there were all these in initiatives out in San Francisco where they stopped one to teach, you know, advanced algebra to students in high school.
