“You can get a other job, but you cannot get another soul”.

Biotech Start-Ups Feel the Pain of Federal Funding Cuts Government grants are critical to the research ecosystem, and patients will suffer.

The proposed deep cuts to the NIH budget will hit biotechs-in fact, the upheaval already is affecting some. In addition to hobbling academia, where innovation starts, it'll shrink the gov seed $ that tiny firms, esp those outside biotech hubs, rely on. My latest @opinion.bloomberg.com (🎁 link):

Please join the chorus of voices, including my own, in support of the talented, hardworking and dedicated scientists and staff at NIH. They serve their country by deploying their training and skills to improve the health and quality of life of all Americans 🙏 🇺🇸

Did you procrastinate (or forget) to submit a poster for the NOS?

You can still submit for a few more days (your poster will not be included in the program book however). We will release the program book online on Monday, June 9th.

Dr. Collins noted that when he was recruited to the institutes, and through many of the years that followed, “investment in medical research was seen as a high priority and a nonpolitical bipartisan effort — saving countless lives, relieving human suffering and contributing substantially to the U.S. economy.” “N.I.H. is the largest supporter of biomedical research in the world,” he wrote. “It is the main piston of a biomedical discovery engine that is the envy of the globe. Yet it is not a household name. It should be.” He went on: “When you hear about patients surviving stage 4 cancer because of immunotherapy, that was based on N.I.H. research over many decades. When you hear about sickle-cell disease being cured because of CRISPR gene editing, that was built on many years of research supported by N.I.H.”

Francis Collins led the mapping of the human genome, and chose to do big scientific to benefit the public. He is a a former NIH Director.
He just resigned his position in government. His resignation letter:

Part of why American government is crumbling is because the most powerful interests have sided with the destruction of their own foundations. Big Pharma's lobbying arm, PhRMA, has issued not one word about the Trump admin's assault on NIH.

Why not? Who knows, maybe they just prefer fascism. 🤷‍♂️

How about your division chair😉?
