Not that anyone asked, but during my tenure on the Pentagon’s Defense Innovation Board, under part of Obama-2 and all of Trump-1, we visited Military Bases domestically & abroad.

At no time did any member of the Armed Forces I met say to me: β€œAmerica needs less science funding.”

Since 1945, American Universities have been envied worldwide for their Government-funded research.

Hard to justify via corporate R&D, frontier science is vital to our long-term health, wealth, & security. To withhold University funding is to amputate the engines that Make America Great.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

$75 million was awarded to plant trees in places that badly need them. In anti-DEI push, that's over The U.S. Forest Service has terminated $75 million awarded to the Arbor Day Foundation to help disadvantaged communities plant trees.

Immensely grateful to the @apnews.com for covering our story. The federal funding freeze is still very much in tact, despite federal judges ordering the release of the funds. Please- call your lawmakers daily. #GetUpStandUp #SOULSquad

The Rise (and Fall?) of the National Science Foundation In the ’50s, America declared science an β€œendless frontier.” We may be reaching the end of it.

Direct Economic Contributions NIH directly supports the economy through investments in research institutions and job formation.
