And, at the end I saw a bald eagle perched on a tree! I hope you all can find whatever works to clear your head and get ready for another week of finding innovative ways to do, and fight for, science!

National Institutes of Health is the largest funder of research at @utah.edu supporting research on pressing issues from cancer to heart failure
Without facilities & administrative (F&A) costs–or indirect costs–this research would not be possible. Learn more www.research.utah.edu/resources/fa...

Support for basic science has empowered us to understand our world. Tethering it to applications health has transformed and saved countless lives.
