To honor her memory, we have set up this gofundme to support her beloved children Jacob (13) and Gabrielle 'Gigi' (8).
Please share onwards as you see fit – we all know her impact extended far and wide.
This weekend, we suddenly lost our dear Dr Latesha Elopre. She was a brilliant researcher & clinician, passionate advocate for health equity, the most considerate and kind-hearted friend, and a devoted wife to Chris, daughter to Glenda, and, above all, mother to Jacob and Gigi.

"It's a horror show. We're under attack in every way all the time," says Sarah Kobrin, who has worked at the National Cancer Institute for more than 21 years. "We're told we're worthless. We're told we're cheats.… They're breaking things that won't be repairable."

2.7Billion in NIH research funding cuts in the first three months of 2025.
This is not abstract
No NIH funding = fewer new treatments for cancer, fewer new vaccines, fewer discoveries for chronic diseases, lower retention of scientific talent, more brain drain.

NEW: Researchers have sued the NIH and HHS, alleging that they have engaged in a "reckless and illegal purge to stamp out NIH-funded research that addresses topics and populations that they disfavor" by terminating hundreds of grants, violating the APA, Fifth Amendment and the Separation of Powers.

“A sane government would never do this.” — the former dean of Harvard Medical School
Universities are reeling. Elon Musk’s allies are celebrating.
Looking at the major cut to federal research funding — which many scientists predict will be devastating
With @lenasun.bsky.social and Carolyn Johnson
Impact of NIH funding in ALABAMA:
NIH AWARDS FUNDING: $386 M
JOBS SUPPORTED: 4,769
ECONOMIC ACTIVITY SUPPORTED: $909 M
Bio Industry Impact:
Jobs: 12,786
Businesses: 1,235
Cutting NIH indirects will end jobs & cause a recession.

On World AIDS Day we honor the memory of all those we have lost to HIV and stand in solidarity with all courageously confronting the inequalities that hinder our journey toward achieving the target of ending AIDS. @uab-cfar.bsky.social @katia-bruxvoort.bsky.social
