New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024.
That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved.
Show me a better investment than that.

"In naming ... lenacapavir as the 2024 #BOTY, Science acknowledges the next, but by no means final, step in the drive to fight HIV/AIDS, where the rigors of the laboratory and the needs of humanity are inseparable," writes @holdenthorp.bsky.social in this week's #ScienceEditorial. scim.ag/4g9kjG4

There are “talented” scientists everywhere. It’s the resource hoarding at large institutions that is the real problem.
Opinion piece: Federal #research programs should support the most talented scientists at the nation’s top universities. Caps on the number of applications allowed from a single institution risk undermining that mission: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... #grants #DepartmentOfEnergy #FederalFunding

Wonderful to see the #immunology community growing here.
The first starter pack is full (they cap at 150), so I created a second one. Let me know if you'd like to be added

Hi #ImmunoSky! So excited to rebuild my network 👋🏼 I'm an industry scientist working on large molecule/antibody therapies for inflammatory diseases. Missing the twitter of my postdoc days and looking forward to new discussions here.

Rebuilding my network from an unplanned 9-month hiatus from the now extinct bird app (which may become indefinite). Can we find a new scientific discussion hub after all? Hello yall 👋
