RFK Jr’s views are dangerous, misguided, and deeply disturbing. Frankly, his policies will hurt people. I will push back on any attempts to disrupt the health and safety of Illinoisans. abcnews.go.com/Politics/rfk...

UNC Chapel Hill gave me a chance at demonstrating my potential as a scientist. My PhD there was an experience of support and investment in me. It changed my life. I'm heartbroken to think of the future science leaders denied this same incredible opportunity. www.statnews.com/2025/02/19/t...

Pitt to pause PhD admissions, following Vanderbilt and USC, because of uncertainty of NIH funding to academic universities. Who will teach and train US scientists for pharma and biotech? Should we import them from countries that do? www.wesa.fm/health-scien...

Again, there are literally not enough jobs to rapidly absorb all these displaced federal workers (who will also now be competing for non-government jobs with everyone else in the U.S.).

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭 It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where everyone cared about their job and serving others.

Many in biotech/private sector are boasting about their ways of funding and doing science But they are staffed with PhDs and postdocs we train in our NIH and NSF funded labs in universities With university labs lacking funds to train, the private sector will be profoundly harmed

Helpful table to determine how much your University or health system is set to lose if the NIH indirect cap is suddenly lowered to 15%. For SJSU it is $374k which is on the smaller end but devastating considering our other budget issues. datawrapper.dwcdn.net/l0ZqA/8/

The justification here is gibberish. Philanthropic orgs don’t set their F&A rate independent of NIH. They gauge their rate based on NIH’s rate to stretch their far more limited dollars to support more research. Lowering NIH’s rate throws this balance into chaos. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...
