I am a professor at Columbia University. All of the student NIH training grants have been canceled and now there are reports that ALL funding will be frozen. Why are Universities not banding together and speaking out publicly and forcibly about governmental attacks on biomedical research?

Columbia may have signed its own death notice. Word has it that tomorrow Columbia will announce an agreement to formal oversight by Trump. This, if true, will signal the death of Columbia as we knew it - a premier teaching and research institution. I explain it here: youtube.com/shorts/W7Rr7...

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you.
If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you.
If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you.
We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.
