Fun weekend hanging with 40K new friends.

Being required to present proof of citizenship to someone not required to present proof they're actually law enforcement is one hell of a dichotomy

If you want to “Make America Healthy Again,” one of the worst things you can do is slash the budget of the world's largest public funder of biomedical research, the National Institutes of Health.

Trump & Musk are making massive cuts to the National Institutes of Health.

I know there is a lot going on right now, but this is one of worst things they have done so far, will affect cancer research and trials, the search for cures, innovation and competitiveness, our universities. Your lives.

If only that breast cancer commercial ended with a notice about all the research funding cuts the current administration is pushing through and how it has immediate negative impacts on breast cancer research and screening.

The NIH announced it will slash billions of dollars of support to universities and research centers.

This is one of the biggest attacks on science we have ever seen. It could dismantle the biomedical research system, shut down clinical trials, and halt development of treatments.

Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings.

But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

NIH slashes overhead payments for research, sparking outrage Move to cut indirect cost rate to 15% could cost universities billions of dollars

Maga, you really don't want any new cancer treatments, do you?

Dear Canada and Mexico,

We’re so, so sorry.

How bad is it when even the polite Canadians boo us.

Yesterday's executive orders are already impacting science. Communication is essential to how science works. To shut that down hurts progress toward treatment for disease. Plus, NIH dollars drive economies! Check the impact of NIH $ on your state: www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...
