It's not just #NIH. It's not just #NSF. It's not just #NASA.
The whole scientific community has to make clear that all science across fed agencies is being destroyed in the US.
We can't just ask for our particular piece of the pie. The whole pie is being thrown out - saving your bit won't work.

Celebrating Pride in Baltimore
Joined #BaltimorePride50 last week to celebrate #PrideMonth and the idea that everyone must be free to be who they are and love who they love.
I stand with the LGBTQ community in face of attacks from Trump and his cronies. Bullies only succeed when others retreat. We will not.

How Trump Blew Up Northwestern’s Business Model
The federal government froze the university’s research funding. It hasn’t offered the school a way to get it back.
“The university is totally keeping us on life support,” said Dr. Daniela Matei, a Northwestern oncologist. “The big question is for how long they can do this.”

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

![Moreover, the Court is troubled by the implication inherent in Defendants’ argument that protest against the federal government, a core civil liberty protected by the First Amendment, can justify a finding of rebellion.

NIH chief stands by funding cuts to ‘politicized science’ at tense hearing
Jayanta Bhattacharya says the US biomedical agency can’t continue ‘business as usual’ if it wants to restore its reputation.
US senators grilled NIH director Jayanta Bhattacharya at a hearing today about how his professed support for science squares with unprecedented grant terminations at the agency and enormous cuts that have been proposed for its 2026 budget.

My message to Trump’s NIH Director? No one in America wants us to do LESS cancer research.
No one is asking Trump to make it harder to cure Alzheimer's disease.
Yet Trump is cutting all of this NOW and demanding an $18 BILLION cut to NIH next year. Not on my watch.

This is worse than many appreciate because it is not merely a delay. Many institutions such as mine are TERMINATING these otherwise active grants if the NoA is delayed by more than a month because they cannot afford to keep the grant supported personnel on payroll

I listened to Bhattacharya testify at the hearing today, parts of this meandering interview with Huberman, and read his response to the Bethesda Declaration
Collectively, they reminded of this Andrew Carnegie quote: as I get older, I pay less attention to what men say; I just watch what they do

Senators press NIH director on killed grants and proposal to slash agency’s funding
Bhattacharya says NIH’s final budget will be “a collaboration”
Democrats on a key Senate spending committee today provided a less than warm welcome to the National Institutes of Health director, who was called in to testify about the agency’s 2026 budget proposal.

These are not just grants. This is thousands of people who devoted their lives and careers - taking pay cuts, working long hours, living with uncertainty - all for the chance to try to make people's lives a bit better for you and your loved ones. This breaks my heart.

Can the US afford to lose its 1.1 million international students?
International students contributed $43.8bn to the US economy last year and created 378,175 jobs nationwide.
