What do the cuts to #NIH #indirectcosts mean? Science is a lot like trying to make a cake. Direct costs cover the ingredients and bakers, but indirects cover everything else: oven, bowl, spoons, electricity, the building, dishwasher, etc. You can’t make a cake without covering both. #SupportResearch

Excellent graphic demonstrating how the new 15% cap on F&A by the #NIH will damage the research enterprise, our health, and our economy. Please tell your legislators that disease is nonpartisan and the NIH needs greater investment not less. Jobs and our longevity depend on it.

Thinking of Dr. Regina Benjamin, 18th US Surgeon General, youngest person and first African American admitted to the American Medical Association’s Board of Trustees. “She spent her career championing a better healthcare system—one focused on equal access..”

In her very short tenure, Dr. Bertagnolli accomplished many things, but I’m so sad to see her leave this #NIH post before she could bring many of them to fruition. 😢
I’m deeply grateful for her service to our nation, all citizens, and cancer patients worldwide.
