NIH spending more than pays for itself. It generates about $2.5 for every $1 spent. In terms of research productivity, NIH funding dwarfs the rest of the world. The only long-term potential rival is China. Politicizing the NIH's scientific processes will hand China a huge strategic advantage.

I was talking to a post-doc who works with me about this. She said "I did my PhD during a pandemic, now I am starting a post-doc and science is being defunded, maybe it's a sign I need to do something else with my life"
She is a brilliant scientist, science needs her!
