2025 Rad Awards: Dr. Sarah McAnulty Philadelphia biologist Sarah McAnulty brings science to the masses in classrooms, through burlesque, at meet-ups and on telephone poles

I was nominated for “Girl of the Year” at the Philadelphia Citizen’s RAD awards, and did I win??? NO! But another scientist won so that rocks. She cures rare diseases in children. Pretty important 😂

A win for scientists is a win in my book!

Workers at 3 of the most important US science agencies — NIH, EPA, and NASA — have now filed letters of dissent against their leadership.

so.... NIH issued a news item clarifying the new use of animals policy.

It seems that the bottom line is that NIH will not issue NoFOs specifically about creation or use of animal models of disease.

With institutions falling, the grassroots needs to stand up and take over at a rapid pace. In media and beyond.
