Thanks to @jamessmurphy.bsky.social you can see about how much funding your state will lose each year from NIH indirect funding caps. In Ohio, it amounts to over $170 Million annually just from the loss of indirect costs. datawrapper.dwcdn.net/l0ZqA/9/

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings. But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

Whenever I read something about what "we" can do with well-designed policies, I invariably find the solutions smart and compelling but wish they would apply some of their insight to the problem of how we create a "we" who can do things that make sense, because we don't have that.
