Present “in person” at the Senate Appropriations markup of LHHSE. There is bipartisan rejection of the destructive cuts to NIH. Committee is also proposing a $420 million increase. They are also rejecting forward funding of grants. Keep fighting!!! @altnih4science.bsky.social

I attended the Appropriations Committee hearing in-person and sat two rows behind the NIH DIrector. This man did not prepare this budget - Vought and OMB did…asked…but he would not admit it. In my 40 years of watching health policy and federal budgets…what a tragedy!!! GOD save America🙏🏾

A little wisdom. I am paying attention to everything- “eating the meat an spitting out the bones”. Also, my decades of experience have taught me that there is always opportunity in chaos and danger.

Several key points:

1) He Immediately sought to restore reviews and advisory councils. Everything should be back to normal by May.
2) The pass back plans that were leaked must have the NIH leadership input. There is bi-partisan support for keep NIH as a global crown jewel.

Here is the NIH master plan…
🚨This article is a must-read on the potential #NIH revisioning.

The author was Jay Bhattacharya's co-lead of the Great Barrington Declaration. Both are on the journal editorial board, as is Martin Makary.

If implemented, this would completely dismantle the system as we know it.
