🧵🧪”Paying taxes can feel like money lost. In truth, it is money shared. When we fund the NIH, we are betting on ourselves and on one another. We are saying that every American life is worth saving, whether that life sits next door or across the country.”
That moment in the midst of the current surreality when your long-time mentee gets a perfect 10 on her R01.... 💛💛

US map via scienceimpacts.org visualization of economic loss due to IDC cuts to 15% as part of Feb 7, 2025 executive order, with shading denoting intensity of cuts.
Working with an interdisciplinary team, we have developed a website to communicate how the White House's proposed cuts to health research would cause losses of $16B and 68,500 jobs.
Find out how your community may be impacted.

Entomologist Megan Barkdull curates a world-class insect collection but she got her start through federally-funded science programs — like those that teach Florida’s kids about wildlife from the Everglades 🐊 to the coasts. Now, that funding is at risk. 🧪🏠

Oops @debyee.bsky.social !!
Fantastic opinion piece on the importance of #fundingforscience and particularly how cuts will hurt the next generation….by the brilliant @debyeend.bsky.social.
DEI is under attack, but the stakes are higher than many realize. Universities *must stand firm* in defending it. I lay out why in my latest piece for Nature.
Silence is complicity. Without DEI, we fail our students, our research, and our future.

This means that the judge found that the plaintiffs (AAMC, et al.) are likely to win on the merits when the ruling is finalized.

NIH ban on renewing senior scientists adds to assaults on its in-house research
Policy follows firings of tenure-track scientists and suspension of training programs

This rebuttal to Vinay Prasad’s point-of-view in Sensible Medicine has food for thought given the pace, nature, scope of cuts and impact on extramural science community throughout the US
The NIH is Being Slashed and Burned, not “Reformed”

Programs focused on increasing the diversity of the scientific workforce are imperiled. Ten trainees funded by these programs spoke with The Transmitter about what the uncertainty of the past few weeks has meant for them, their research and their futures.

Studies show that funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) contributed to 354 of 356 drugs (99.4%) approved by the FDA from 2010 to 2019. Recklessly slashing NIH funding will mean that patients will be waiting much longer for life-saving treatments.
How long until American research breaks?
I have thoughts, as shared with @katiewuwrites.bsky.social in her outstanding piece.
And I also know there is a blueprint for how we will rebuild (albeit slowly, sadly, after too much lost time & too many lost lives).

THIS IS A MUST-READ PIECE. Please share, off Bluesky as well as on it.
Most people *do not understand* how harmful these short-sighted cuts are going to be - for our economic as well as our physical health. 🧪🛟🩺
In my latest article for @science.org, I reflect on the current challenges faced by early-career researchers, including delays in grant reviews, uncertainty around NIH funding freezes and changes, and the critical need for continued support and advocacy.
