It's gone from 3-1 in favor to about an even split over the past 20 years.

We need more scientists to speak to the general public about the importance of animal research, or there's going to be a major change in policies in the next decade or so.

No, never published. I made it as part of a review article that I couldn't get any editors interested in.

I was contrasting the above figure with this one, from doi.org/10.1038/s435...

Same data source, but a different presentation tells a very different story.

I noticed the #NIH #AllofUs "Policy on Stigmatizing Research" was updated Jan 31, 2025. I'm wondering what changed. Does anyone have an old version of the policy? #MedSky #EpiSky 🧪🛟

Some small research institutes that are wholly dependent on NIH funds, like this one, will probably have to close.

when you look at their balance sheet, $100 million is a lot, but it doesn't look like it would bankrupt them.

#Sentinel-2 caught the start of the #palisadesfire. Photo was taken 10:45 am this morning. Second photo is a closeup using false color (IR bands). It looks like the fire started right along Temescal Ridge Trail
