Yet more devastating news for the future of human health....

CNN headline that reads: "Supreme Court allows Trump to block $783 million in National Institutes of Health grants for now"
The Supreme Court just greenlit Donald Trump gutting nearly $800 MILLION for medical treatments and cures.
Congress approved this funding for a reason: it saves lives.
This is disgraceful, and families will suffer.
Exciting! Will there also be an electronic version, or only hard copy? I'm very excited for this!
Call your Members of Congress to demand they protect the NIH & NSF budgets (proposed to be cut 40% & 60% which will devastate the future of science in this country). 5calls.org makes it easy with a script and phone # lookup for your MOCs: 5calls.org/issue/nih-ns...
Keep calling as often as you can

Happy Festivus to you!
I wish we did, but I’m not aware of one on payroll. I’m not very big on social media, but definitely want to promote BlueSky.
Just aiming for something different and eye catching. We placed other ads through official channels with the standard “we are hiring” type of graphic. Happy to take suggestions for future job ads!
We are hiring a Director for the Carolina Institute for Neurodevelopmental Disorders. This is a highly prestigious position and a great opportunity for a leader! This could be you! unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/286...
