All true but the headline gets it backwards: The US economy relies on University labs to carry out the research it needs done to support the health and wealth of the country. THAT is what he is blowing up and some of the heavy costs will be paid in lives. wapo.st/4kSN6Ru

NEW: The Trump administration cut research funding that sought cures for future pandemics, examined the causes of dementia and tried to prevent HIV transmission. ProPublica heard from more than 150 researchers to understand the work that’s been lost.

76% of Americans express a great deal or fair amount of confidence in scientists to act in the public’s best interests. Don't use the other 23% as an excuse to cut science.

"Its a horror show. We're under attack in every way all the time" says Sarah Kobrin, who has worked at the National Cancer Institute for more than 21 years. "We're told we're worthless. We're told we're cheats. This is probably the most stressful period of my entire life" www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Proud to be an early signer of the support letter. I encourage everyone to sign and support science and the brave NIH workers who spoke out. Also call your senators- there is an appropriations hearing on NIH tomorrow.

The Trump administration’s freezing in April of $790 million in federal research funding for Northwestern University has left concerned lab directors without key grant money from the National Institutes of Health.

Proud to be a signatory on this letter in support of the courageous staff at the NIH who penned the Bethesda Declaration to decry the ongoing politicization and damage to the US biomedical research infrastructure which has been the envy of the world.

I helped explain to the Chicago Tribune the enourmous and irrational damage the NIH funding freeze is causing at Northwestern. “You’re at risk of losing an entire next generation of scientists" "it’s terrifying; it’s completely senseless." www.chicagotribune.com/2025/06/07/w...
