The brain drain over these 4 years will be immense and devastating.
Shutting down medical research — not just within NIH, but everywhere that’s funded by NIH — will have long-term effects on medicine & short-term effects on state, higher education & hospital budgets. This affects all of us, not just researchers.
The assault on NIH is a test for how the national media covers the Trump admin: Trump is shutting down medical research!
That is easy to communicate. Will they treat it as a 5 alarm fire in a way that forces the government to respond, or will they downplay & caveat it?

Donald Trump is a lifelong criminal— and now officially a convicted felon. Trump should not be entitled to the protections of the presidency.
It is infuriating that the office of the presidency is shielding Trump from the gravity of this verdict — and a sentence truly befitting his felony…
