The Big Stupid Murder Bill will close rural hospitals and elder care facilities, even as GOP senators horse trade funds to stop that in specific states in order to buy votes. If your senator is too inept to benefit from the sale, oh well! Congratulations on killing your own friends with your vote.

We’ve tried to shelter our minds but tonight we’re preparing for the genocide of Science.

Entire NIH departments will have no leaders.

World renowned Scientists kicked to the curb without cause, & grants will loose their lead investigators.

Is this what they want?
Chaos? Destruction?
NIH ban on renewing senior scientists adds to assaults on its in-house research
Policy follows firings of tenure-track scientists and suspension of training programs
