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.

Elon Musk wants to strip out payments for the indirect costs of doing vital medical research for the federal govt — while SpaceX gets to keep its undisclosed indirect rate, which is paying out billions.

Trump’s sudden cutoff of funding and staff at USAID has meant the loss of “almost all ability to track $8.2 billion in unspent humanitarian aid…, a government watchdog warned Monday.” This whole wire report on the accelerating catastrophe bears reading. therepublic.com/2025/02/10/usa…

Among those we honor on #PresidentsDay is Abraham Lincoln, who in 1863 signed the Act of Congress that established the NAS to advise the nation on issues related to science and technology. Read more about our history: ow.ly/oEMa50UZN1z

Veterans deserve the best health care available. At a time when the VA is already understaffed, these layoffs will hurt veterans. Unacceptable. Trump must not cut VA health care so that he can give tax breaks to Musk and other billionaires. The VA must rescind this order.

It's clear that many do not understand what NIH-funded research does to improve health. It's time to revive a study published 10 years ago that provides incredible information about this. link in the comment Every single new drug approved by the FDA from 2010–2016 was built on

Pitt to pause PhD admissions, following Vanderbilt and USC, because of uncertainty of NIH funding to academic universities. Who will teach and train US scientists for pharma and biotech? Should we import them from countries that do? wesa.fm/health-science…

I'm hearing from experts around the world about what the destruction of USAID is meaning: "a global health massacre," in the words of a doctor who has devoted her life to humanitarian work on the front lines. Millions of malnourished children left to starve. Pregnant women not

I reject the conclusion that most science is irreproducible, flawed, or that the funding pressures scientists face contribute in any substantive way to widespread misconduct. This is offensive to science and scientists and damages public perceptions of science and scientists.

A huge missing piece in the public discourse about federal funding at universities is that these are not handouts but are instead used to address challenges that the government considers important for the country and scientific progress. There is a massive disconnect here. 1/5

“A dream come true”: A child walks again after breakthrough treatment for a rare genetic disorder—thanks in part to NIH-funded research. Scientists at NYU Langone Health discovered that a CoQ10 precursor can help brain cells restore energy production, offering new hope for families
