⚠️ Effective Monday 2/10/25, NIH indirect rate capped at 15%. Applies to existing & future grants.

—> Deep budget cuts & program closures coming to a university near you.

Is this the break the glass moment for university administrators who have been silent so far about the attack on science?

I had the privilege to be a Global Health Corps Fellow with the Elizabeth Glaser Foundation in Uganda, funded by #USAID. They do health systems strengthening for prevention of mother to child transmission of #HIV. The freeze on international aid jeopardizes life-saving care and training globally.

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban.

Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on
Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

The devastation for refugee families—those awaiting resettlement, already approved for resettlement, and even those already here in the U.S.—is cruel, inhumane, and deadly. But that’s exactly the point 💔
There is a current refugee ban in place. This is refugees who have been hand picked and vetted and had all their medical exams etc.
This is not about illegal immigration. This is about all immigration and especially humanitarian immigration.

UNC alumni, students, parents, residents of NC: you can call the Chancellor’s office to let them know you are withholding donations because of this hateful and cowardly policy

Long thread on the UNC-Chapel Hill Chancellor's statement of compliance with ICE:

The Chancellor's response is not surprising and reflects the position of North Carolina when it comes to immigration enforcement. NC has hidden behind compliance with "the law" for decades. 1/10
UNC-Chapel Hill will ‘comply’ if ICE seeks students on campus, chancellor says
Schools and colleges are no longer considered “sensitive” spaces protected from immigration officials, under a new directive from the Department of Homeland Security.
