WHERE WILL YOU BE TOMORROW?

It was very cringey hearing the attorney fumbling to answer this. But later on, when the a different attorney from plaintiffs discussed irreparable harms, they specially mentioned institutions that house primates and the increased costs associated with their care etc. so overall it came through.

Hearing on NIH indirect cost cuts today (2/21) at 10am (EST). Judge Angel Kelley of U.S. District Court in Boston — Courtroom 8.

The economic and societal burden of AD should be enough of a reason for the federal government to be vested in funding the search for a cure.

We either pay for the cost of identifying a cure now, or we face the cost of caring for our aging population later.

Which one will it be?

My lab works on Alzheimer disease (AD), the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S. While this administration seeks to slash biomedical research to the tune of 4 billion dollars a year, the healthcare costs associated with AD treatment alone is projected to exceed $1 trillion by 2050.

My heart goes out to the folks at NIH and other agencies who are losing their jobs today.

Protect research funding Federal funding for biomedical research is under threat.

For decades, NIH funding has fueled breakthroughs in cancer, heart disease and more. But a new policy puts progress at risk. We need Congress to oppose this abrupt change. Join me in emailing lawmakers today! #SaveNIHresearch bit.ly/4hxmfsK

Hi 👋🏻, my name is Mat Victor and I’m a new PI!

Beginning every new career stage feels like a cliff dive. This one is by far the biggest one yet.

Just want to shout out all other junior faculty out here. Let’s try to trust that we can do hard things.

Hoping to connect. Follow for follow!

Cutting overheard funds without changing the complex landscape of regulations biomedical labs have to abide by in order to perform research is a clear indication that this is not about reform. It’s punitive. By the way, regulations are important to ensure ethical and safe practices.

As outcry builds over Trump cuts to NIH payments, drugmakers are MIA Drugmakers — major beneficiaries of NIH-backed university research — have been largely silence on the Trump administration's cuts to agency research payments.

The biopharma industry, a major beneficiary of academic research, has largely stayed quiet

Many in biotech/private sector are boasting about their ways of funding and doing science

But they are staffed with PhDs and postdocs we train in our NIH and NSF funded labs in universities

With university labs lacking funds to train, the private sector will be profoundly harmed

Yes! I haven’t seen people make this point enough. Biotech should be lobbying hard to protect academic science right now. They also have a better chance to leverage the argument of the economic impact this will have to republicans in congress.
