Here's the NIH's proposed budget - from $48 billion to $27 billion. NIAID, current ~$7 billion cut to ~$4.2 billion.
The proposed 15% cap on indirect costs remains.
Again, these budgets are passed, and our leadership in science, technology, and innovation is gone.

My research to prevent diabetes in Latinos isn't woke. It's efficient.
Hispanic/Latino people face significantly higher rates of type 2 diabetes than non-Hispanic white people — especially here in Texas.

Interesting read and a reminder why we should preferably publish in society journals. Now the large publishers make huge profits on our publicly funded scientific work. Profits that could also go back to the scientific society (and not shareholders).
