We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

To understand the devastation for U.S. science right now. Here is how NIH grants work: somebody comes up with a research idea, like a tree sapling NIH invests in the “direct cost” of that idea, aka buys the sapling Let’s say that sapling is $100
A visualization I created to share with family and friends about how the NIH indirect rate costs will hurt science AND our economy.
