Abstract
“Can't you fill my recruiting schedule with more students?” a company recruiter recently asked Andreas Kronenberg, professor and head of the Department of Geology and Geophysics at Texas A&M University. Kronenberg gave a simple, honest answer: “No.” He shared that anecdote with U.S. Representative Chet Edwards (D‐Tex.) to underscore the fact that a number of college students are majoring in subjects other than geosciences due to the lack of secure funding and jobs in that field. Kronenberg had met with Edwards during AGU's fall 2008 Congressional Visits Day (CVD), a 2‐day program when more than 60 scientists discussed with their legislators the importance of science funding.
