Already bruised by the Trump administration’s first round of firings of federal workers, employees at NIH faced more bad news. NIH’s 27 institute directors were told this week that the agency must cut staffing back to 2019 levels, or at least 10% below its 2024 tally. scim.ag/3EP8gjy

🧪I’m deeply saddened by the efforts of the Trump administration to weaken America’s innovation & scientific enterprise. Especially when economist estimate at least a 20% return on investment. These cuts will result in higher costs for the American people - sciencebusiness.net/news/80354/R...
