University towns are factory towns. Universities drive economic activity, not the other way around.

All 4 of my NIH research grants are terminated. These were grants on MDR-TB treatment & strategies for supporting adolescents living w/ HIV. This is a massive waste of resources. I am heartbroken for my Harvard team, my partners in Peru, the next generation of scientists & our country. Shame.

What Trump learned long ago as a private citizen is that you can easily ruin someone’s life with frivolous litigation even if you ultimately lose in court. And that was when he was spending his own money to harass and intimidate people. Now he’s spending yours.
