An ad for Today Explained said NY voters get to vote for 5 candidates, that’s demonstrably wrong. Please learn how ranked choice ballots work & how people only get ONE vote.

Hot take. The government isn’t subsidizing university budgets. Universities are lending subsidized expertise to research and development that contributes to the public good. It’s called partnership.

We set out to quantify U.S. academic contributions to medicines. The results stunned even us
From 2020 to 2024, universities contributed patents underpinning 50% of FDA-approved drugs. 87% of those academic breakthroughs came from American institutions.
