I was an “overhead cost”.
I was a beaker washer, agar plate pourer, research secretary. I was paid by “overhead cost” fees. Loved it.
Those “overhead cost” jobs allowed this rural kid to become a physician.

📣 UPDATE: OK, still working with some others to figure out the best way to present it all, but in the meantime here's the first batch of links to the most-recent archived versions of every page at the CDC prior to the Trump/Musk Purge:

In which I provide links to archived versions of every CDC.gov page available pre-purge (Part 1 of 15)

Florida: 8 schools received more than $10 million from NIH in 2024 for a total of ~$673 million. Of that, $442 million went directly ot research and $231 million to facilities and administration. The new indirect cost rate would bring that to $66 million, a loss of $165 million.
