Impacts of NIH Funding on the US Economy, Jobs and Better Health
The U.S. National Institutes of Health is the largest single public funder of biomedical and behavioral research in the world. NIH activities and funding are major drivers of the United Statesβ compet...

What does the Pulse actually say, & why do we care about it so much?
At first blush, it matches other polls. Recent Pulses show about 10% of American adults fit under the banner of LGBTQ, including about 1% who are transgender, 2% who are nonbinary, 4% who are bisexual & 3% who are gay or lesbian.

A screenshot of a text excerpt from a court proceeding, showing a conversation between Judge Reyes and Jason C. Lynch about an executive order that defines βsexβ strictly as male or female. Judge Reyes challenges this definition, noting that there are roughly 30 different intersex variations and citing examples such as XXX chromosomes, androgen insensitivity, and five-alpha reductase deficiency. Judge Reyes emphasizes that not everyone fits neatly into an XX or XY pattern, concluding that the executive orderβs premiseβthat there are only two sexesβis biologically incorrect.
