Freezing out the NIH's funding means freezing out American innovation.
Research into curing cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's all delayed.
And ultimately it won't just cost us advancements in life-saving research, it will cost us lives.

NIH funding cuts could have ‘devastating impact’ on medical advancements, Chicago researchers say
The National Institutes of Health under President Donald Trump announced this month that it was cutting payments covering overhead costs for research institutions that receive its grants.

Excited that this is now out in JAGS. We talked to care partners of people with dementia about the process of deciding whether and how to have firearms in the home. It’s complex, but there are ways to have honest/helpful conversations. agsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

America’s deadliest shootings are the ones we don’t talk about enough: Over half of all gun deaths in America are suicides. We lose 74 people to gun suicide in America every day — more than are lost to firearm murders and unintentional shootings combined.

The NBA doesn't have a 3 pt shot problem.
3's have skyrocketed this yr because it's the most protected shot.
Inside the 3 line, there can be all kinds of contact.
Outside the 3 line, you can't even be in the "landing zone", and most guys just fly by to contest.
Of course there are more 3s

Dr. Chetan Huded discusses the growing TAVR use in those under 50 years. But what happens when they fail? Why can’t we just do another TAVR?
For some we can.
For ~12% you can’t: possible to block coronary arteries & can be risky
