One of grants frozen at Cornell: $6.7M (4 yrs) to develop heart pumps for babies born w/ heart defects. It took decades of work to get to point of prepping device for in-human clinical trials. No private company could do this. The cruelty of the Trump administration is heartbreaking. So to speak.

Fabulous reporting from @cprnews.bsky.social on the devastating cuts to #NIH funding and direct impacts on medical research and cures. A beautiful story of a family’s fight for their child with Bloom syndrome and the research being done @cuanschutz.bsky.social. Real consequences, real lives.

Devastating, as expected. But numbers help us talk about the harm. 🙁 (NB: this article primarily quantifies DEATHS, & some pregnancy-associated outcomes. It doesn’t count disability, illness, emotional injury, malnutrition, etc. The full effect of these cuts will be so much larger 🛟)

After 24 hours on his feet, Cory Booker is defending the scientific research establishment of this country - calling out an experience like the one that drives me and SO MANY of my fellow scientists to do the work we do - that maybe we can do for others what we couldn't for our own loved ones.

Dr. Richard Youle was fired today. He is an eminent scientist who has done important work on brain diseases like dementia and Parkinson’s. Musk and Trump are stopping NIH research into cures, for diseases from cancer to Alzheimer’s. Americans did not vote for this.

Gift link. Abrego Garcia has been in the US for 14 years. No record. Married to/parent of a US citizen. Given legal protection from deportation bc of the risk he would be harmed by Salvadoran gangs. Trumpers admit they shouldn't have deported him. And they're saying the court can't bring him back.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
