Absolutely true. Vannevar Bush was critical in our transition from a country focused on ending the war to one that dominated and led scientific development globally thereafter. Bush’s report was a critical milestone. @mitofficial.bsky.social nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/2023-04/Endl...

Science Matters. 🔬 For 80 years, science has been a north star for the U.S. In 1945, Vannevar Bush’s report Science, The Endless Frontier called for bold government investment in research transforming our health, economy, quality of life. Science is not zero-sum—it creates value and better lives.

On this International Day of Girls and Women in Science, I want to celebrate all the women who are making significant contributions to the field of STEM. These incredible scientists are paving the way for future scientists by serving as role models for girls around the world, including my own.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Want a great slogan for midterms? "If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you " You get the point. FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

Let me give a concrete example of the importance of applications with high risk-high reward as well as the role of NIH staff in taking risks. Decades ago, a physical chemist proposed ideas about doing mass spectrometry on proteins (when this was deemed probably impossible). 1/n

Like many of you, I'm saddened at the destruction in Southern California. I spent time as a grad student researcher at UCLA. Los Angeles is a beautiful place with amazing people. I'm grateful for the first responders and inspired by how Angelenos are supporting each other in the face of tragedy.

An important moment in our brain science work. We're closer to understanding aging and why so many brain diseases occur during advanced age – and what we can do to mitigate the impacts.
