I’m sorry WHAT???!!! The Partition of India was a humanitarian disaster of unprecedented proportions. Up to 2 million people died in horrendous violence. Up to 20 million were displaced. Relations between India and Pakistan have been on a hostile to war footing ever since, for nearly 80 years.

Apologies for this long post I put together to explain to non-scientists the impact of NIH cuts: Last night, an “atomic bomb” was dropped on the biomedical science community. We were informed that effective immediately, indirect costs on NIH grants (both current and future) would be fixed at 15%.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

My author's copies arrived on the day where an EO was passed about telling the full American experience as indoctrination. As the product of AfAm porches, I will be loud, proud, and continue to speak their truth as well as my own to power even in this political environment.
