I need to take a quick moment and celebrate an achievement for me. I am not a fan of public speaking and had to overcome that fear this week. Not only did I surprise myself with how well my talk went, I had multiple people tell me it was the highlight of the meeting! #ProudOfMyself

I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

No study section...no grant reviews
No grant reviews...no grants awarded
No grants awarded...no research
No research...no functional NIH
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Today the great divide is not between left and right. It’s between democracy and oligarchy.

Let me explain.
The American oligarchy is back, and it’s out of control
It’s the third time in the nation’s history that a small group of hyper-wealthy people have gained political power over the rest of us. Here’s what we must do.

Terrible news today:

This year, one-third of coral cover has been destroyed in two northern sections of the Great Barrier reef due to anthropogenic heating.

Results for the southern sections (which were even hotter) have not been officially released.
