  <title><![CDATA[Opinion: Don’t tax future scientists and engineers out of existence]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.myajc.com">Atlanta Journal-Constitution&#39;s</a> Maureen Downey relinquishes her <a href="http://getschooled.blog.myajc.com/category/college/">Get Schooled</a> column to two&nbsp;postdoctoral fellows from the <a href="http://biosci.gatech.edu">School of Biological Sciences</a>, <a href="http://www.nicolembaran.com/index.html">Nicole M. Baran</a> and <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Nastassia_Patin">Nastassia V. Patin</a>. They voice their concerns about the U.S.&nbsp;House tax bill, which would tax tuition waivers given to America&#39;s graduate students. Baran and Patin describe the damage that would do to academic careers, scientific&nbsp;research, and the state of Georgia, which is calling for more advanced degrees in STEM disciplines. Baran and Patin are also in the Atlanta pod of <a href="https://500womenscientists.org">500 Women Scientists</a>.</p>
