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.
We had a great time meeting with Senator Mattera about the importance of state support for early career researchers, especially in the current funding environment.
Today we stood together with researchers
@kaitlinmurtha.bsky.social @stepsbystef.bsky.social, students, educators, and supporters at the Stand Up for Science rally in NYC. This is what collective action for science looks like.
Huge thanks to @salazarsenate.bsky.social for working with us as we fight for funding stability for research in #NewYork.
Join your local Stand Up For Science Rally this Saturday, March 7! See below for the time and location for your area. @standupforscience.bsky.social

We will stand with our brothers and sisters at @nynurses.bsky.social until they win! #FairContractNow
Freezing nights don’t stop us from supporting @nynurses.bsky.social on strike at Mount Sinai. Their fight for dignity and safe working conditions is our fight too ✊ #WhenWeFightWeWin
"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
"Before 2025 we relied on several grants from NIH but when they got expired we lost a lot of good scientists. As a New Yorker I believe we should keep investing in medical research to keep all of our work ongoing at the top level." - Debmalya Mitra, Associate Research Scientist Columbia University
"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

Today we stood with striking nurses @nynurses.bsky.social on the picket line fighting for safe staffing, quality patient care, and fair working conditions. Solidarity forever✊
"NY State has a long history as a leader in biomedical research and training and the proposed EBRI will allow us to continue to build this legacy by ensuring steady research and training funds that never hamper scientific progress." Matty Lesko, Grad. Student Researcher @sunyofficial.bsky.social
"Increased state funding for biomedical research in New York would combat recent threats to basic research and pave the way for discoveries that can benefit New Yorkers and stimulate the state economy.” - Paige Arnold, Postdoctoral Fellow @rockefeller.edu
"Dedicated state funding for science could help to alleviate the growing uncertainty which will attract and retain talent coming to New York from all over the world to perform practice-changing research." - Juliane Grimm, Postdoctoral Fellow @einsteinmededu.bsky.social
Today in Albany, we made the case to dozens of state legislators and staff for investing in NY science through the Empire State Biomedical Research proposal. #FundNYScience
"My Lab's funding has been affected by the Trump administration's attacks on higher education. This limits how much research can get done and how many students and postdocs we can recruit. We need state funding to protect research and researchers. The time is now to fund the #EBRI." - Andrea Joseph
