I am a professor at Columbia University. All of the student NIH training grants have been canceled and now there are reports that ALL funding will be frozen. Why are Universities not banding together and speaking out publicly and forcibly about governmental attacks on biomedical research?

Found this amazingly blue damselfly while out looking for birds in Costa Rica. I post all of my non-bird sightings to @inaturalist.bsky.social - it's a great app that can help you ID various organisms and the data is often used by scientists to better understand ranges of plants and animals.
