The AGA @amergastroassn.bsky.social wants to hear about how NIH cuts are impacting you! Share your story here: surveymonkey.com/r/AGANIH #AGAadvocacy

Breaking: Halt on Trump administration’s cuts to NIH research payments expanded nationwide, not just in certain states. My latest for @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2025/02/11/j...

How to get 146% return on investment? The NIH. That's just the economic benefit. Biomedical research promotes human health.

NIH cuts aren't just a loss for "liberal woke" universities.

15%. In 2018, 10% was tried, but it was blocked by Congress. www.nytimes.com/2017/09/11/u... www.science.org/content/arti...

This will have a crippling financial impact on academic institutions, increase unemployment, & stifle science The $47B NIH budget generates ~$93B in economic activity/yr. Unparalleled 2.46-fold ROI. nearly every new drug has an origin in science funded by NIH incl pharma/biotch

If this is real, it seems intended to cause confusion, fear, and panic. I maintain that we should not self-censor pre-emptively until things settle down and more is known (criteria to flag vs reject etc).

Important thread by @shaziamsiddique.bsky.social on the danger of using race as a biologic construct. #MedSky - I asked her to join us from X. Please follow her for insights on science, evidence, and equity!

Perpetuating the false notion that race is biologic is dangerous. We've sequenced the human genome & know there's more genetic variation within a racial category than amongst them. (1/3)
