A reminder: 40% of US Nobel prize winners since 2000 have been immigrants.
The class of immune cells at the centre of Monday’s Nobel prize is showing promise as a treatment for autoimmune diseases, cancer and even organ transplants — but there are still key challenges to overcome before these cells can be used in therapies in the clinic.

It’s #MythBustingMonday.
Today’s myth: “Multiple vaccines at once will overload a child’s immune system.”
This idea is popular with anti-vaccine groups and also POTUS. But immunology, decades of research, and real-world data all say the same thing: it’s false. 🧵

Every $1 spent on NIH funding returns nearly $3 to the economy - an almost 200% return on investment💰.
Also 99% of drugs developed 2010-2019 were funded by NIH ‼️🤯
Cutting NIH funding not only hurts the economy but will hurt families and patients 😔💔
ASM maintains the critical need for a budget agreement that supports funding levels that will allow the U.S. to maintain its position as a scientific leader and address the public health needs of the American people. Read our statement: asm.org/press-releas...
Secretary Kennedy's announcement that COVID-19 vaccines will no longer be recommended for healthy children and pregnant women could reduce vaccine access for millions of Americans.

Joyce Wolford is alive today because of a cutting-edge NIH study.
Trump officials cut $2.7 BILLION from NIH funding in the first three months of this year.
The American people do not want us to slash lifesaving research to give tax breaks to billionaires.
The National Institutes of Health, the largest funder of biomedical research in the world, has fired 1,300 employees and cancelled more than $2 billion in federal research grants. https://cbsn.ws/4daiCrv
Vacciness have saved > 6 lives/min in the last 50 years, yet their importance & safety is often questioned
“We should not allow misinformation, disinformation, ignorance and defunding to hinder vaccine development, deployment and use”
