"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." β€” Michael Okuda

How quick we forget.

There are currently more kids in Texas with measles than there are transgender collegiate athletes in all of America.

Guess which one they want you to focus on.

Another terrific episode Katie. Will follow you to any station - msnbc is lost & losing more viewers every day.

Rain and cold could not dampen the spirit of New Yorkers who marched for democracy. My protest buddies and I will never stop all efforts to end this fascist regime currently in DC and Mar-a-Lago. "The power of the people is greater than the people in power"

One of your investments did not lose a dime today…

SOCIAL SECURITY.

And remember, it’s the one they want to get rid of…

Sen Cassidy - You knew better! "First do no harm" Your medical license should be revoked and then you should be voted out of office. You broke your oath. You voted for RFK Jr, now you own the collapse of NIH, CDC, FDA & healthcare system

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Dear Democratic Members of Congress,

Stop telling me about what he's doing. We can all see it.

Start telling me about what you're doing to stop it!

Signed,

RFK Jr is a firehouse of disinformation.  Getting measles gives you immunity, but also gives you measles with risks of encephalitis, pneumonia, and death.  MMR vaccine wanes 0.04%/year, not 4.5%.  For the vast majority it’s lifetime protection and it’s incredibly safe.

Thanks, @Senator Cassidy - you sold out! You knew better. You committed malpractice - probably criminal since people will die as a result of your vote supporting this conflicted anti-vaxxer

SCIENCE IN PERIL

Research funding at risk

UNDERSTANDING RESEARCH COSTS

Research requires funding for both direct costs (like lab supplies) and Facilities & Administrative (F&A) costs.

F&A covers essential expenses that support research but aren't tied to a single project, such as...

IT and cybersecurity for data protection

Laboratory space and utilities

Administrative support for grants and operations

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF F&A COST REIMBURSEMENT RATES ARE CUT?

Research institutions will lose millions of dollars to do critical research

THE IMPACTS WOULD BE DEVASTATING.

Fewer clinical trials, delaying new treatments

Slowed scientific discovery and innovation

Weakened local economies and research-driven industries

Job cuts and fewer opportunities to train future leaders

Previous F&A cost reimbursement rates varied by institution. Rates averaged around 28%, but some organizations had negotiated rates over 60%.

Costs vary widely, with rates set based on factors like institution size, location, and rent or utility costs.

HOW IS RESEARCH AT RISK?

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced a policy change that limits F&A cost funding to 15% for both new and existing grants.

The policy drastically cuts essential federal support for biomedical research.

A group of universities and states filed a lawsuit claiming the funding cuts are illegal.

A federal judge temporarily paused the funding cuts, but F&A costs remain at risk.

Scientists and the public are speaking out to share how important it is to maintain funding for research and innovation.

RESEARCH SAVES LIVES.

NOW, WE MUST SAVE RESEARCH
