All of NIH funding to Northwestern University is frozen. This pause includes noncompeting approved funding, new and competing grants with fundable scores. No reimbursements for money already spent have been received since March. This situation is rarely reported so please Please get the word out!

What's happening with these grants is much more complicated and mostly unknown. None of the NIH have been officially cancelled. The NIH was just ordered to stop paying. They got the Unis to enforce silence on their own campuses because they thought they were "negotiating" and cld get the funds back.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.

When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

This is important: “Gutting the NIH, NSF, CDC and others will demolish one of the pillars that holds up our entire research establishment. It will have terrible follow-on effects in all of biopharma - not tomorrow, not next week, but soon enough”

In other words, we are fucked for a long while 😞
A demand that biopharma NOT cozy up to the Musk-Trump administration

"by the time you can unequivocally point to things that have started going wrong in industry because academic research has been stomped flat, it will be far too late to do anything about it"

A reminder of all the harm Kennedy could, and likely will, do in the HHS secretary role. Of all the confirmations, this one is going to have the most noticeable impacts on people's daily lives. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Trump's nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is “a genuine catastrophe.”
As health and human services secretary, the “damage he could do is near infinite.”
