Grant cancellations of any kind are terrible and disruptive, but I've been thinking a lot about the compounding effects that cancelling trainee grants will have - so many promising young people left discouraged and (rightfully) contemplating careers outside of science.

Taking a cue from @cantlonlab.bsky.social, I have written an op-ed for my local newspaper about the impact of the NIH funding chaos. I'd appreciate it if you read and share. #NIH #Research #Science #Worcester

Opinion/Guest column: Gutting NIH a disaster in the marking for research, local economy
Less research equates to less business between the university and these Worcester companies, spreading the pain far beyond campus borders.

Very disappointing that the annual NIH/FDA Rare Disease Day event was postponed, which brings together researchers, policymakers, physicians, and families to improve patient treatments and experiences (and was a favorite event of mine as a post bac researcher) ncats.nih.gov/news-events/...

We do not have to sit alone in inaction. If you are in the New Haven area join the Day of Action rally as part of the labor4highered.org events. Show your support for research and education. Bring a friend!

Back in 2016, freshman college me joined @urichmond.bsky.social ‘s IQS (Integrated Quantitative Science) program, funded by @hhmi.bsky.social. This was the key experience exposing me to research and lead to me pursuing a PhD. Cutting these programs will make it harder to bring people into science.
