I am saddened to hear of Mia's passing. When I learned she had glioblastoma, I prayed for her and her family. Glioblastoma is such a hard thing to watch a family member go through. It is a terminal cancer and it aggressively attacks a person. My mother died from this cancer.

Thousands of the best experts at FDA, NIH, and all across HHS are being terminated right now. These are the people who make sure the medications you and your children take are safe. These are the people who perform and oversee research on cancer, infant health, and so so so

Thereโ€™s an enormous amount of disinformation flying around about NIH right now, so letโ€™s clear a few things up. The NIH is not Big Pharma. It doesnโ€™t make drugs, it doesnโ€™t set public health agendas, and it doesnโ€™t profit from your illness.

This is the late astronaut Sally Kristen Ride. The first American woman in space aged 32. A scientist, a PhD in physics, and major member of the NASA research team. I think Iโ€™d probably opt for her as an inspiration to young girls.
