HIV Researchers and Advocates Rally to Save Our Sciences Speakers oppose the Trump administration’s funding cuts to the NIH, PEPFAR and Medicaid and attacks on communities most vulnerable to HIV.

Took a break from science news to write up Monday's inspiring #SaveOurSciences rally at #CROI2025. More of a photo essay, really, with lots of familiar faces.

As someone who used to be eligible for DEIA, specifically as a Disabled Veteran in the Fed Industry, where our Government pushed a LOT of Veterans to look for jobs [through USAJobs] Musk is an abomination and an afront to what "American" means.
