Global competition for scientific talent is accelerating. Canada, China, and the EU are investing heavily to attract researchers just as federal research priorities shift. Now is the moment for New York to double down on investment in life sciences. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
We are grateful for the opportunity to meet with Assemblymember Robert Carroll and discuss how state investment in research helps sustain jobs, training, and innovation in #NewYork.
Thank you @sengonzalezny.bsky.social for taking the time to meet with us and discuss the importance of sustained state support for biomedical research in #NewYork.
Thank you for the time @amromero109.bsky.social - proud to be working with you to keep scientists and union jobs in NY.

"Expanded state funding for biomedical research would help attract early career scientists, elevate research and innovation and keep NY competitive.” - Joseph Powell @weillcornell.bsky.social
We are urging our representatives to support biomedical research and the workers who sustain it. Get involved: docs.google.comformsd/10Yy8SaQEaEd...
"EBRI would help sustain the vital funding streams that keep progress in psychiatry moving forwards." - Justice Simonetti, Graduate Student Researcher Icahn School of Medicne at Mount Sinai
"EBRI would allow me to stay and continue the important research that sustains the well-being of all New Yorkers." - Stefano Cataldi @columbiauniversity.bsky.social @stepsbystef.bsky.social
