Does NIH funding support important research? Yes, multiple studies have shown that NIH research is multiplied in economic activity, and is the backbone for approved drugs and patents. One example: genetic discoveries made today forecast future successful drugs + side effects.

In a Simply Statistics post I argue that universities do spend indirect costs on research. Many, including prominent scientists, seem to misunderstand the true cost of biomedical research and the fact that universities subsidize it beyond what they receive from NIH. Link below! 👇

An essential read - by Dana-Farber Division of Population Sciences’s own Sasha Gusev - on the current state of scientific and medical research funding and why this matters for everyone: theinfinitesimal.substack.com/p/a-faq-on-fed…

Again: what’s the vision here? We’re slashing NIH and NSF so … what? Basic health research is some of the best bang for buck in govt. And it can be much, much better than status quo. What’s the plan to supercharge American science to usher in our “golden age”? Where is it??

The New York Times recently had an article on IVF and embryo selection which I think buries a few important ledes about these products ...

These points are mostly glossed over in the article, which focuses more on fantastical GATTACA scenarios and social media controversies. I get that those are more fun to cover and read about, but I think it is worth first resolving the question: does this tech even work at all?

Nobel laureate Bill Kaelin on Killing the Science Golden Goose. "This is especially worrisome because becoming a scientist is largely taught by apprenticeship, with each generation teaching the next. We risk losing the next generation, our “seed corn”" amjmed.com/article/S0002-…
