No surprise that NIH funding is stalling and the long term impact will be devastating. Just after we honored #RareDiseaseDay, a community dependent on federal support, this slowdown threatens lifesaving research. Patients can’t afford delays - we have to invest in science to

Thank you The Elsevier Foundation for this award! This recognition motivates me to keep doing science that informs #MentalHealth programs and policies in #Guatemala and beyond. ✨

🚨This week, many Columbia scientists lost grants that funded over half their annual income. Others will no longer be able to do research that helps treat thousands of sick patients across the US. "It hurts," they told me. My story for nature 🧪 nature.com/articles/d4158…

🚨 BREAKING: With NIH cuts leaving young researchers in limbo, CRI is stepping up - $2.5M for postdocs to keep #CancerResearch moving forward. Breakthroughs tomorrow depend on investing in young scientists today. Read more: bit.ly/4iEQNsJ #FundingScience

NIH funding cuts could cost the U.S. $16 Billion and 68,000 jobs. An interactive tool from Joshua Weitz and team shows the local impact across the U.S. - down to the county level. This isn’t abstract - these numbers affect real communities and real lives: scienceimpacts.org
