I'm proud of (and grateful for) this remarkable @upenn.edu sophmore for speaking up about the importance of science.
In 2012, Whitehead became the first child treated with CAR T cell therapy, a treatment developed at Penn Medicine; she has been in remission since.

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024.
That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved.
Show me a better investment than that.

One of the most powerful moments of the day came from Emily Whitehead who told the story of how she was the first pediatric patient to receive CAR T-cell therapy for her leukemia at age 5: “I stand up for science because science saved my life. And that’s a fact.” @standupforscience.bsky.social

infographic on the effects of federal budget cuts on neuroscience research, showing graphics depicting the following points: 1) up to 1 in 4 Americans live with chronic pain; 2) 1 in 36 children in the US live with autism spectrum disorder; 3) NIH drives therapeutic research & development in the US; 99.7% of FDA-approved products originated with NIH funding; 84% of medical patents originated with NIH funding; 4) nearly 1 in 5 young adults in the US live with depression
infographic on the effects of federal budget cuts on neuroscience research, showing graphics depicting the following points: 1) 6.7 million adults in the US live with Alzheimer's disease; 2) 5.5 million Americans live with traumatic brain injury related disabilities; 3) NIH is a critical developer of therapeutics and medications for the brain. Investments through the NIH BRAIN Initiative, individual research grants, and training programs are key to developing lifesaving therapies and to reducing disease burden. Removing NIH funding will stop this progress! NIH supports research in all 50 states; over 80% of NIH's budget supports research at universities across the US.
NIH funding is central to the research enterprise, providing critical support for neuroscience research across the country and here at UM-MIND.
