In light of policies to defund biomedical research, and with judicial hearings happening today, we hope to highlight the many ways biomedical research improves people's lives, and to convey how damaging the proposed cuts would be... not just for us researchers, but for everyone.

I have been trying to find the time to move away from the polical hellscape we find ourselves in to finish and share a bluetorial about science. This helps me remember what this is all about. Ironically, it is about the treatment of pain.

These NIH funding cuts threaten research happening in Delaware on heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke recovery, & more. This is what this administration is focused on. Not lowering your household costs.

The Trump administration just delayed a key CDC vaccine advisory meeting—originally scheduled for Feb. 26-28. The excuse? Needing more time for public comment. The reality? A troubling move that could weaken science-based vaccine policy. 🧵 www.npr.org/sections/sho...

I am living my best (or some version of someone's best) activist life with a core team (not to mention 100+ phenomenal volunteers) that must have harnessed the chemistry all major causes over the last 200 years perfected to fight for what is right. I am just...so grateful. I can't believe it.
