Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings.
But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

NIH directly supports the economy through investments in research institutions and job formation.

Simple example: we noticed multiple places where new comers and immigrants go to eat and shop are understandably less busy this week.
Go there and support financially! Buy, eat, be in community.

I like to think in an alternate universe there’s a team of multidisciplinary, multinational, geographically, and economically diverse public servants to write some op-eds (&podcasts) across the country that are a love letter to community & really lets people know what we do in the name of community

This is real. I helped someone out at work, worked on my front yard, and practiced violin today. We have to take care of ourselves and each other.
Relatedly, I hope everyone is taking care of themselves & making choices to show up for themselves. It is hard. It will continue to be hard. You never have to do it alone. We do hard things w/ community & find joy. We hang in there. It doesn’t have to be pretty, but it has to get done. Proud of you❤️

There’s something about helping folks connect the dots to make lasting positive change to their mental health that makes my heart sing. Like you decided to work on yourself and you DID THAT! It’s truly an honor to be part of that process.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence.
More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop.
