People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

This is not only eugenics, it’s murder.

And just like that, overnight our lab loses two 5-year R01s (both of which just started) because of the new NIH rules about foreign co-PIs. This is so painful.

It doesn't matter if the school district intended to violate her rights under the ADA and Section 504, that's missing the point. What matters is making sure children like Ava actually receive an education www.disabilityscoop.com/2025/01/27/s...

I can imagine the deep concern my research colleagues are feeling given the current pause at NIH *and* at the same time Iinvite us to consider how we want to transform these institutions and structures for the future so they benefit everyone. For instance, only 1% of NIH R01 recipients are Black.

NIH funding supports the vast majority of all biomedical research in the United States. Virtually every advance in American medicine and biological science comes from NIH. This is a blow against American science.
Call Congress, 202-224-3121.

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
