Cutting NIH’s indirect costs to 15% threatens biomedical research. Indirect costs are not wasteful administrative overhead- they fund infrastructure, maintenance, repair, compliance, and oversight to ensure ethical human and animal research. This will cripple the US biotech.

To everyone thinking that cutting the research budget makes sense because of public debt, I want to remind them of Mary Lasker's words: "If you think research is expensive, try disease" Doing science is not a luxury we can't afford. It is investing in our future.

Happy #FluorescentFriday and a friendly reminder that science is for everyone 💛 #FluorescenceFriday #microscopy #intestine #sciart #pathart #bioart #histoart #StandUpForScience #StandUpForScience2025 #ScienceForAll #ScienceNotSilence #ScienceisforEveryone

The mood was defiant at many of the rallies, where chants of “Scientists will not be silenced”, “Facts over fear” and “What do we want? Peer review! When do we want it? Now!” were heard. go.nature.com/43rWyFG

Big news! 🎉 MUSC Ph.D. student Amber Hazzard has been named a 2025 AAAS Mass Media Fellow. She’ll be writing science stories this summer for The News & Observer, helping make research more accessible and inclusive. 👏 Learn more: musc.co/3SfCCiJ
