About this episode
At the UW, hundreds apply each year for the astronomy department’s graduate program, and a maximum of seven are accepted. But for the next year, they won’t be accepting any graduate students, due to state and federal funding cuts. To learn about the impact, we talk with UW astronomy professor Emily Levesque, who's author of the book "The Last Stargazers."
