Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations.

Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

Any way to create a “health tech” or “digital health” specialty for those of us that are non-clinical in tech?

I’m curious as to whether these companies who are making it public that they are backing out of DEI policies and initiatives are thinking about how it will affect who works for them…fascinated at Walmart.

It’s coquito season…

Same bro!
