No one who is thinking about 2028 in this moment should be considered in 2028.
There is organizing happening now to fight for our communities.
If your sleeves aren’t rolled up and you’re not active in the grassroots NOW, you’re not fit to lead.

Transgenic means that genes from 1 organism have been put into another. We make transgenic mice to understand how genes influence biological processes. We make transgenic plants to make them more nutrient rich. We make transgenic bacteria so they make medicine for us. It's wide-ranging & v. useful.

Trump just bragged about bringing back CHIP manufacturing:
1 - Biden did that with the CHIPS act, not him.
2 - Trump announced he was freezing the funding for that last week!
3 - That kills 115,000 manufacturing jobs
The man is literally a world record shattering liar it's incredible

The NIH funding cap on indirect costs will eviscerate scientific research from the inside.
Universities won’t be able to support researchers, biomedical progress will slow, & YOUR health will be harmed.
Plus, widespread economic collapse.

The NIH indirect cost caps will kneecap biomedical research–and everyone will pay the price
This reckless policy will gut scientific innovation, drive researchers out of the US, devastate healthcare, and cause economic collapse.

This is a room where we turn very modest salaries and budgets (and lots of coffee) into new knowledge, life-saving innovations, and technology that feeds business growth.
It's literally the loom that spins hay into gold but these numpties are suddenly worried about the cost of hay.

Since i was a kid, I grew up always wanting to be a scientist. As a 1st gen college student I worked my butt off to get my degrees. After years of schooling & work, I put up w/ my family belittling me for my career choice. But it's so disheartening to see how anti scienc the country has become
