For those with despair about today's extreme proposed funding cuts for NIH, NSF, NASA, NOAA, etc... remember:

CONGRESS πŸ‘ SETS πŸ‘ BUDGET πŸ‘ LEVELS

Today's news is simply just the President's **request**.

Tell your elected representatives to REJECT this assault on science and scientific training.
NIH was the most extreme:

Trump in 2017: "Please cut NIH's budget by -22%" (yellow bars below)

Republican House: "Nah health research is important...let's increase it by +3%!"

Republican Senate: "How about +6%??"

Final Congress: "Actually...let's do +9%!!"
