A valued member of our hospital community was taken by ICE. THIS IS NOT OK.
Cincinnati Children's chaplain previously granted asylum detained by ICE, local organization says
Imam Ayman Soliman was granted asylum status after he arrived in the U.S. from Egypt over a decade ago, the advocacy group Ignite Peace said.

The legendary Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) gone, just like that. Since 1951, these disease detectives have hit the pavement and secured vital information needed to face emerging threats to our lives.

Ohio: 6 schools received more than $10 million from NIH in 2024 for a total of ~$700 million. Of that, $440 million went directly to research and $260 million went to facilities and administration. The new indirect cost rate would bring that to $66 million, a loss of $194 million.
