New opinion in @lohud.com by Jonathan Teyan & Paola Bianchimano on why NYS must invest in biomedical research through EBRI including the fact that NY trains 1 in 7 U.S. doctors—and public research investment delivers up to a 10:1 economic return. EBRI would secure both. www.lohud.com/story/opinio...
NY leads in science. We must invest in biomedical research | Opinion
We are at an inflection point in how we support science in the U.S. New York state must invest in its science institutions and workforce.

@governor.ny.gov we’re set on one goal in 2026: getting EBRI up & running so New Yorkers get the benefits ASAP after such a hard year for many.

EBRI is a transformative investment bringing new medicines & money that can solve other priorities in education, healthcare, transport for the long term.

New York’s research ecosystem delivered plenty of “nice list” rewards this year. Now we need Albany to deliver EBRI so we can keep that impact growing. Research is the gift that keeps on giving, so for a healthier and wealthier New Year for all New Yorkers, sign our letter to 🎅 >>> c.org/hwy54dWJDb

New York’s own Emerging Technology Advisory Board just released a major report—and its recommendations directly align with the EBRI proposal. If we want NY to lead in biotech, research, jobs, and innovation, this is the moment to show we share their vision and sign the petition >>> c.org/nDnRNSsVcq

🗞️ in @gothamist.com from @clewisreports.bsky.social.

Our 2 cents: EBRI doesn’t compete with other urgent needs — it equips NYS to meet them. Not funding it now worsens pressures; funding it grows the economy to help fix them.

What drives our push for a state-wide funding institute is the recognition that everyone in the biomedical research ecosystem — from students to PIs, critical support staff, and the patients who participate in trials & advocacy — are rock stars. ✍️ & share the petition, nearing 600! c.org/nDnRNSsVcq
