Let's iterate, not obliterate.

The US's research infrastructure is a thing of beauty.

Is its continued evolution necessary? Always! That's good policy and good science.

But, our primary focus should be expanding and strengthening the NIH, not stalling it. (4/4) 🧪

But, its existing processes already offer substantial societal benefits while helping the US lead the #biotech sector.

That's good for science, our citizens, and US national security. (3/4) 🧪

You'd be hard-pressed to find a better return for our taxes.

For every dollar of research funding, the NIH generates $2.46 in economic activity. 👀

Let's not understate that. Delaying NIH study sections, stalls a ~2.5X ROI & leaves value on the table. (2/4) 🧪
