How the drugs are made.
This is a really good (and fun for some of us) thread about one of the most recent discoveries in pharma and the inherent need of funding and support of NIH throughout history.
Bluetorial: The path to a new pain medication with little potential for addiction

Perhaps a good story to share with folks who want to learn about how biomedical research works and where advances come from.

Data collection time for anyone being funded by NIH grants that have received a NoA!
ATTENTION:

If you have received a NoA from NIH within the last 10 days, please let me know the grant number and award date.

I am trying to characterize the time lag between awards and NIH Reporter.

DM me if you wish or just reply

Should we pay or withhold taxes this year?
It's a tough question to answer but here are some good points.

The point is not to deprive the government of funds. It’s to expose the regime’s criminality

Yep. There are many Republicans who despise Trump and yet they decide to continue to walk the party line and support the orange one.
Hopefully they will change their tune once their constituents start demanding them to do something; unfortunately it will probably be too late by then.
This.
Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.

So when all was said and done, the only country that opened it's prisons and sent crazy murderous criminals to prey upon innocent American citizens, was us.

Good advice for what will be tough times ahead.
Somebody somewhere
Needs flowers tonight

In a world gone mad
Take breaks when you need to
Stand up when you have to
And never give up
