Scientists, doctors and public health professionals at the National Institutes of Health, the CDC, the FDA, and other federal agencies have been fired under President Trump’s effort to shrink the government.

Trump Cuts Target Next Generation of Scientists and Public Health Leaders

A core group of so-called disease detectives, who track outbreaks, was apparently spared. But other young researchers are out of jobs.

A quick reminder: For every $1 of research funding, NIH generated $2.46 in economic activity. This includes funding jobs in all 50 states. This isn't a red/blue thing: 8.9 jobs per $1M in CA & 12 jobs per $1M in GA. #AcademicSky #PhDSky #MedSky #HealthSky #healthequity #SciComm

Big thanks to those who didn’t vote, who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for a woman, who thought Harris’s selection as the candidate was unfair, and who voted for this guy and defended themselves by saying, “Oh, he’s just saying that, he wouldn’t actually do it.” www.science.org/content/arti...

Next time someone says they voted for this guy “because of the economy,” send them to this website so they can see the economic impact of NIH funding in their state. And then remind them that this guy and his cronies are out to end it.
