Protect F&A Research Funding Behind Every Breakthrough The future is shaped by those who push beyond what is known. At UC San Diego, we donโ€™t just navigate change โ€” we create it. Every breakthrough, every discovery starts with the courage to explore, to challenge, to redefine whatโ€™s possible. But even the boldest ideas need a foundation. Research requires resources, collaboration, and investment to turn possibility into reality. Without it, the unknown stays unknown. With it, we change the world. ucsd.edu/research

๐Ÿ”ฌ Scientific breakthroughs need proper infrastructure to happen.

This video from @ucsandiego.bsky.social explains why F&A funding is essential for researchers turning ideas into lifesaving discoveries.

Protect the future of research. Contact your representatives!

I had so much fun discussing the importance of my Neuroscience research with Congress. We met Megan Medley with Representative Robert Aderholt's office. Kristina Visscher and I also asked for continued support for Biomedical Research!

Caleb is a biomedical scientist who worked on mouse models of disease when he was an undergrad at Auburn (!!AWESOME!!!). Caleb and @flubinlab.bsky.social had some really in-depth discussions about new techniques to administer treatments for neurological diseases.

WTF! So starting Monday NIH indirects to all universities moved to 15%. This would cripple schools. This is madness.

Federal restrictions & funding freezes threaten vital research and halts scientific progress that benefits all Americans.

Join fellow #NeuroAdvocates in urging Congress to protect congressionally approved funding & ensure uninterrupted support for the scientific workforce.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free worldโ€”all while cynically waving the American flag.

In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine.

If I were Canadian PM I would immediately:

1. Create a new $15B science fund

2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada

3. Immediate permanent residency

4. Citizenship after 2 years

Overnight a science superpower
