Huge cancer breakthrough! mRNA vaccine (similar to COVID vaccine tech) shows stunning results against pancreatic cancer! 75% of responsive patients STILL cancer-free at 3 yr, normally 80% recur. Could revolutionize treatment for one of deadliest cancers! Funded in part by NIH

Yesterday, Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressional mandated. They've saved millions of lives. 🧵

New: The senator flagged thousands of National Science Foundation grants for using words like “female” and “diversify.” A ProPublica analysis found numerous examples of projects caught up in his crude method for identifying research he calls “woke.” propub.li/3F1Unyz

HHS just scrapped a 54-year-old policy requiring public input on regulations for grants, benefits, and contracts. This guts transparency and shuts out stakeholders from key health policy decisions - completely contradicting any claim of radical transparency.

Francis Collins resigned from NIH yesterday. He rightly pointed out that it's Human Genome Project revolutionized every aspect of biomedical research. He points out that NIH has historically been sens as high priority and non partisan. 1/

No surprise that NIH funding is stalling and the long term impact will be devastating. Just after we honored #RareDiseaseDay, a community dependent on federal support, this slowdown threatens lifesaving research. Patients can’t afford delays - we have to invest in science to

In an unprecedented move, the US National Institutes of Health has begun mass terminations of research grants that fund active scientific projects because they no longer meet “agency priorities”. go.nature.com/4i2EaIb

Catastrophic research funding cuts continue - this time w/ the DoD’s proposed reduction of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs by $859 million (57%). These programs are critical for rare cancers,TBI, spinal cord injuries & disorders affecting service members.

Today #NIH is terminating more than $250 million in funding—including more than 400 grants—to Columbia University following directives from the Trump Administration’s Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism. The cancellations are due to Columbia University’s continued inaction

🚨This week, many Columbia scientists lost grants that funded over half their annual income. Others will no longer be able to do research that helps treat thousands of sick patients across the US. "It hurts," they told me. My story for nature 🧪 nature.com/articles/d4158…

NIH funding cuts could cost the U.S. $16 Billion and 68,000 jobs. An interactive tool from Joshua Weitz and team shows the local impact across the U.S. - down to the county level. This isn’t abstract - these numbers affect real communities and real lives: scienceimpacts.org
