The FDA is being gutted today. This is a disaster for patients who need new innovative medicines, and for those of us who discover and make them

Many hundreds (perhaps up to 1000) of additional NIH grants appear to be have been terminated on Friday.

I have updated the data from the HHS TAGGS site (and converted it from a pdf to an Excel file) on the dashboard but many hundreds are still missing.
