#CanSky have you ever had the chance to speak to cancer researchers about their #research at an event for example? How did it make you feel about your own cancer journey? How did it make you feel about the state of cancer science and how did it make you feel about the doctors and scientists?

Storm Anxiety: So, one thing that has proven helpful on days like today is to narrow our focus to things you can control. Casting a wide net for your emotions that includes what happens in MS/AL may not be healthy for you. Narrow your intake to your immediate surroundings.

Trump's attacks on the Department of Education should remind us never to elect to high office anyone without a stake in society. We suffered the same in the UK from 2010, when people who used private healthcare and private schools ripped up public services.

With the Trump interference with NIH grants, many scientists are hurting. Some received good scores last fall and are just waiting for council and award.
But NIH’s budget must go out this year, all spent Sept 30.
Universities MUST provide bridge funding to keep labs intact for the next few months.
