#Physiology is in danger right now. Unstable federal research funding is stifling innovation.

If we want medical progress, we must protect the science that makes it possible. Watch Episode 1 of our series: #FightforPhysiology https://ow.ly/lEn450YmHvQ 🧪

Children with #CysticFibrosis once faced futures measured in years. Today those futures include graduations, careers and families—because physiologists uncovered how cells move salt and water.
