The NIH’s new plan to fund all years of a grant upfront will drastically cut the number of proposals funded this year. Typically funds are split over the funding period with deposits each year. Without an increase in the NIH budget, paylines will become impossibly low. Another blow to US science.🧪

Ridiculous. Anything for his J6 buds.

NC would have been on that list if our republican legislature didn’t pass a bill prohibiting our AG from suing the Trump administration. 🙄

Republican NC legislators are “gunning” to add our state to the list- calling concealed carry a constitutional right and abolishing permits. Disgraceful.

Unbelievable…. But true

So shortsighted and stupid.

“Never liked him” yet used Born in the USA at rallies in 2016 (unauthorized). The true boss (Bruce) didn’t like him then either.

I hadn’t noticed this one. I think he’s doing so many bad things it’s hard to keep up.

Not to mention that renaming Veterans Day minimizes the contributions of those who served in the military during other conflicts or peacetime.

This is a great point!

I got the same email this morning. I told my lab to order today if they foresee needing anything soon. Another way that science is being challenged and gutted- tariffs on supplies as budgets are slashed.

We must resist as Trump takes aim at science Last year Robert F Kennedy Jr, now the US health secretary, ordered medical journals to “start publishing real science and stop retracting the real science.” Now, after delivering 100 days of global d...

Are we sure he doesn’t want 6,666 soldiers?

This goes against everything that scientists are taught about ethics in research.

Tillis will only kiss the ring. Never listen to his constituents.

Federal cuts to National Institutes of Health could threaten medical progress Former National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins, who abruptly left his NIH research lab in February, fears aggressive downsizing could impact Americans’ health.

Now available online; definitely a worthwhile view and covers many of the high points of the past several months

Efficient use of taxpayer dollars.

Today is Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness Day! CDH is a birth defect that occurs when a baby’s diaphragm (a thin sheet of muscle that separates the abdomen from the chest) fails to fully form, allowing abdominal organs to enter the chest cavity and prevent lung growth. CDH occurs in approximately 1 in 2500 births, with over 1600 babies diagnosed each year in the United States alone. There is currently no known cause.

Today is Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia awareness day. 🧪👼🏻

Massive, and much needed programs, not to mention the talented people who run them. 🧪

Eating dinner and lamenting reading about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I look up at the news and see that a Venezuelan asylum seeker in NC has been deported despite being here legally. f_ck. How many more are we not hearing about? Does the 14th amendment mean nothing? I think we know the answer to that.

😔

Great work that illustrates the current state of grant funding from the NIH.

If Elon is looking to cut some government spending that is actually wasteful, he could cancel the military parade trump wants to hold on his 79th Birthday which is projected to cost $92 million dollars!

That … and all the government spending on his golfing trips!

The day Science died. 🧪💔
