Thankful to @seattletimes.com for amplifying our message

This agency drove huge progress in cancer research in WA. Now it's in peril | Op-Ed The digital age's progress in oncology did not emerge in a vacuum. It's a direct result of federal investment in agencies like the NIH, which is now in peril.

Proud to co-author an op-ed with Dr. David Aboulafia on the devastating impact of proposed federal cuts to cancer research funding.
These cuts would stall clinical trials, cost jobs, and slow progress against cancer at a time when patients need hope the most. www.seattletimes.com/opinion/life...

#CancerCare relies on support for research, clinical trials, and prevention programs. However, HHS budget cuts threaten these essential components. In this op-ed, @drbinayshah.bsky.social explores the potential impact on patients, providers, and future progress: buff.ly/0v8TrIW #Binaytara #Cancer
