I worked for two years in NIH-funded research and 3 other research labs throughout my bachelors and masters degrees. Seeing funding frozen breaks my soul.

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?

Trump has introduced an immediate halt to all work on PEPFAR (the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, set up by George W Bush).
This includes the HIV treatment provided to 20 million people through PEPFAR, people who will die without treatment.
And many more will acquire HIV as a result.

Correlation is not causation, but there's a lot of correlation here. PEPFAR began in 2003 near the peak of world AIDs deaths. Today 20M people receive HIV treatment through PEPFAR funding. That's almost 2/3 of people treated in the world. Call your Congress people and get PEPFAR back.

Trump just undid the only good thing GWB did in his entire 8 years.
Many sudden and shocking health care developments this week. But this was a big one: The Trump administration on Friday paused funding for PEPFAR, the famed program to fight HIV/AIDS around the world.

Funds for fight against HIV/AIDS paused in Trump aid freeze
The President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR, is credited with saving 25 million lives worldwide and has long enjoyed bipartisan support.

Now they are going after disabled children. Those who need the help most are the first target.
On the Department of Education website, the page that leads to 504 plans for children with disabilities has been removed.

Because of course they are. Returning to $400 for less than a month's supply of insulin is going to kill people. It did in the past. It will again.
