Here’s a reason why the incoming NIH Director, health economist Jay Bhattacharya, should know cutting indirect costs at NIH is self-defeating and stupid.
Every $1 invested in NIH returns $2.5.
So $4B “savings” is actually $10B we lost.

NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately

Arguing against gender-affirming care with “regret rates” is like banning all surgeries because some regret them. Most detransitions happen due to lack of support, not because transitioning was “wrong.” Gender is diverse, and affirming care saves lives. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #EndGatekeeping
