This cure for sickle cell anemia was made possible by NIH-funded research to turn the gene for fetal hemoglobin back on. It was done predominantly by NIH researchers, including intramural researchers on the NIH campus.

In 2008 I was TA for Intro to Am. Politics. After Obama’s election, prof lectured about how results were predictable given economy and fundamentals.
Then it felt cold blooded but now I see his point. Almost any ‘08 Dem could win after recession and almost any ‘24 Dem was gonna lose after inflation.

We’re going to hear lots of stories about which people, policies and rhetoric are to blame for the Democrats’ defeat.
Some of those stories may even be true!
But an underrated factor is that 2024 was an absolutely horrendous year for incumbents around the world 👇
