🚨 Over 70 graduate programs in the biological and biomedical sciences have frozen or slashed admissions.
The consequences are profound—how many brilliant minds are being shut out of research entirely? How much future discovery is being lost before it even begins?

Jessica: When I hear Republicans out there talking about their plan for education in America, I don't hear them talking about making sure disabled kids have access to a public education.
Greg: Because we're against it.

Liberal society — free people, individual rights, government by the consent of the governed, equality under the law, free markets, peace, and prosperity — is an accomplishment.
It can be lost.
Serious people do not take it for granted.

External studies have shown:
-NIH funding directly or indirectly supported the development of ALL new treatments that were FDA approved between 2010-2020
-the return on NIH investment is estimated at 25-40% annually given the improvement in productivity from a healthier workforce

Saddened by the passing of a #Drosophila great, my colleague and mentor Dr. Ruth Steward. Ruth made fundamental contributions to our understanding of the role of Dorsal in developmental patterning and identified connections between developmental pathways and cancer.
