Graduate programs ceasing admissions in the US due to funding being cut off is going to cause a really interesting predicament for private industry when companies want to hire trained researchers in 4-5 years.

Does your child want to go to college, want to go to med or grad school? The new cures for diseases, new technologies that we depend on come out of universities. #Trump, #Musk, #Vought are now killing higher education. If you haven't been paying attention, this would be a good time to wake up.

It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year.
I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

BREAKING: They called them heroes. Then they cut their healthcare. Trump and Musk just gutted funding for the 9/11 first responders’ health program—forcing layoffs and slashing care for those who risked their lives. This is a national disgrace.

This is devastating. The NIH plays an important role in coordinating trials across the country.
Do you have a loved one in a clinical trial? It might be stopped due to these cuts. Call your representatives! Let them know you care about science and developing life saving treatments!

Got word that several NIH employees in a group working on cancer clinical trials got terminated via email this evening.
“The [cancer research] trials will literally not be able to function without us.”
Trump and Musk are killing cancer research. 🧪

NEW: In a further sign of turmoil at the NIH, Mike Lauer, who oversees the agency's $39 billion extramural budget that goes to research outside the NIH, has resigned effective tomorrow.
This comes after top NIH official Larry Tabak abruptly retired yesterday.

In its totality what's happening at HHS & NIH is a Musk/Trump effort to shutdown almost all cancer cure research in the US. No more new cures. Cancer's brand is really in the dumps. It polls terribly. This is a political argument that is straightforward to make. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/nih-a...
