Surviving metastatic breast cancer is a matter of getting a treatment to work long enough that when the cancer overcomes it, a new treatment is available.

My wife has been doing this for 15 years. Each time the cancer started moving, a new medicine was available.

She'll die if research stops. 😞
Shutting down medical research — not just within NIH, but everywhere that’s funded by NIH — will have long-term effects on medicine & short-term effects on state, higher education & hospital budgets. This affects all of us, not just researchers.
The assault on NIH is a test for how the national media covers the Trump admin: Trump is shutting down medical research!

That is easy to communicate. Will they treat it as a 5 alarm fire in a way that forces the government to respond, or will they downplay & caveat it?
