We set out to quantify U.S. academic contributions to medicines. The results stunned even us
From 2020 to 2024, universities contributed patents underpinning 50% of FDA-approved drugs. 87% of those academic breakthroughs came from American institutions.

NSF appears to be terminating hundreds of its grants to Harvard, per internal sources at NSF and at Harvard. At least one division has had all its grants cut.

Bill Gates per today’s NY Times article: “I think there’s a logic to solving tuberculosis. I mean, it’s criminal not to solve TB. It’s criminal not to solve H.I.V. It’s criminal not to eradicate malaria.”
