This exactly! I’ve been thinking about this all day. Plus the compounded effect of DOGE looking for areas to make cuts (CDMRP LCRP??) I’m concerned we’re heading into a medical research winter. 😰

November is #LCAM . Did you know that we have a screening test for #lungcancer? If you are 50-80yo w/ a smoking history of >20 pack years and are currently smoking or quit within the last 15 years, you are eligible for 🫁 #cancer screening! #lcsm #whiteribbonproject

Anyone else wondering what #lungcancer research funding is going to look like with RFK as HHS and the new DOGE department? Seems like there might be some big changes coming for NIH, NCI, and CDMRP. Is there anything we can do to brace for it? #lcsm

If you’re part of the lung cancer community, please add me! I’m working on a Lung Cancer Starter Pack for Bluesky. (If you already have a Starter Pack, lmk!) #lungcancer #lcsm #lcam #lungcancerawareness #screening

They are all rescues, but Diesel was my only “foster fail” Scoop was literally rescued, by my mom, from a house where she and her siblings were locked inside alone for multiple days as tiny kittens with no food and their mother locked outside, terribly distraught. My mom broke into the house.

This is Nutmeg and Petie Pie. Nutmeg is a little smaller and a little more vibrant. He’s quite the character. Petie Pie is everyone’s big brother. He’s the peacemaker and deescalator. He’s also my boyfriend. 🥹

This is Lily. She’s neurotic and typically off doing Lily things.
