Wondering why you should ✍ our petition? c.org/nDnRNSsVcq

In @aai.org, founder @drshrutinaik.bsky.social reveals why the coalition was formed, why NY needs a state-backed research institute, and how scientists should organize for systemic support — here and nationwide.

Add your name ✍ at www.nycures.org so Albany sees 10,000 scientists calling for the future of biomedical research to be built right here in New York.

Our first email to members goes out soon—introducing the statewide biomedical institute we’re proposing and how you can help power it forward.

We had a lot of fun with this one - Lymphatics meet B cells with @carlanowosad.bsky.social @nyulangone.bsky.social 👇 Sometimes less is more

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed.

Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

Congrats!! Great to see this beautiful work in print!

Taxpayers should not accept cuts in funding for cancer research. Bravo 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 @miriammerad.bsky.social

Immunotherapy researcher Miriam Merad from Icahn Mount Sinai says the reason that cancer research has slowed is because of funding issues, which is something taxpayers don’t have to accept.

Our SUNY researchers at @ubuffalo.bsky.social and across the state make the world healthier, safer, and more secure every day that they do their work.

As well as new medicines, the economy gets a $2.5 boost for every $1 the NIH spends, so “publicly funding research is just a no brainer” @lastweektonight.com
