Democracies weren’t built around this. They depend on a shared reality, however contested, to function. When governance becomes a battle between competing fictions rather than policy and truth, institutions designed for debate and compromise become tools for enforcing narratives.

Why including people with disabilities in the workforce and higher education benefits everyone
For one thing, the presence of employees with disabilities improves the culture of the entire organization, making it more collaborative and responsive.

I am absolutely gutted. During my time in the Intramural Program at NIDDK I had the opportunity to mentor 5 SIP interns including interns through the Office of Minority Health Research. It made me a better scientist and these students often went on to make underserved communities less underserved
NIDA has announced it, but all the NIH summer internship programs are likely cancelled.
Sorry college students interested in STEM jobs, sorry high school students looking at science 🧪 careers. Trump and Musk are cancelling your futures.
