This one impacts a postdoc who has devoted his life to improving treatments for EDs for EVERYONE. He no longer has funding for his salary or work As of yesterday (we received notice this morning).

It sucks that we have to do this. but here we are. I left messages. It took all of 5minutes to call both my senators. Even as a person who HATES talking on the phone, this is ridiculously easy. It's as easy as talking about this with friends except there's a phone next to you.

Some NIH study sections for tomorrow have just been canceled.

Who knows which of these grants would have led to the next life-saving invention.
Who knows which scientists will throw in the towel bc of funding delays.
Who can even begin to measure the impact of these reckless cancellations.😕🩺🧪🛟

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.

Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.
