NEW: In a further sign of turmoil at the NIH, Mike Lauer, who oversees the agency's $39 billion extramural budget that goes to research outside the NIH, has resigned effective tomorrow.

This comes after top NIH official Larry Tabak abruptly retired yesterday.

Scientific advancements aside, this is economically irresponsible

Every $1 spent by NIH generates $2.46

For example, in 2023, $47B in NIH spending generated ~$93B

➡️ Fluid enters via the renal artery
⬅️ Fluid exits via the renal vein, lymphatics, and as urine
