I assume parents that work from home do not pull their kids out on this day to observe you working from home.


The NIH has an absolutely GLORIOUS bring your child to work day, with labs opening their doors to present their research and do fun age-appropriate experiments, campus events, movies, petting zoos, etc. My older kid went with my husband to dissect a cow eye, see the Da Vinci surgical robot in action, watch a movie; while I toured the mice facilities with my youngest. Years later, she still remembers the nest of baby mice she saw (she's aware of experiments done to them, obviously).

It's a dream come true for many STEM-minded kids.

Heck, they could have served up caviar for lunch, all paid for by us, American taxpayers. Nice of them to be so generous while making us pay for it. How about one of their super rich elites donate the funds?


Federal workers don’t even get free water at work. Either drink tap water or bring your own water.


#truth

Our agency doesn’t provide water. Bring your own from home.

NIH is special. Everyone should know that by now. It’s called The Fleecing of America.

The MAGA is strong in this one!

Also many of these things are funded by companies who get branding on them at the event or non profits trying to get publicity so its not all tax payer funding.

The pentagon had 5 THOUSAND children come today. They had a ton of stuff set up from face painting and baloon animals for the littlest ones to robot programming, armored trucks, drones to try out, martial arts to practice, K9 demonstrations etc. It was very cool.

NIST had a fantastic presentation today by a Nobel Prize winning physicist! And tons of engaging activities for the kids. Very well done and well thought out.

Thank you to you, our taxpayers, for funding these activities for our kids!

Middle school was clear. Others not. Nothing from Central though, right?
