Well said from @ericverdin.bsky.social! The NIH is the heart of biomedical research in the US. The proposed cuts are unconscionable.
Our CEO, Eric Verdin answered questions about the administration’s proposed budget cuts to the NIH at a hearing before the Senate Special Committee on Aging this afternoon. Hear his exchange with Angela Alsobrook D-MD here: youtu.be/XrhHldez1AI
