The USA still works - we just need people who will follow the Constitution.

But now he is saying “I’m so lucky they didn’t hang me or I would have missed awesome Trump part 2!”

As I write this, w are losing rockstar scientists at the NIH. These are tenured, highly productive, cutting edge innovators who cannot be replaced.

Good news - with the arrival of Dr. Bhattacharya, pandemics are over!!!

From NIAID "The end of the pandemic provides cause to terminate COVID-related grants which were issued to ameliorate the effects of the pandemic. Now that the pandemic is over, the grant funds are no longer necessary."

Why does Elon call it a "star" ship when it can't even reach the moon, let alone travel 25 trillion miles to the closest star?

I am sure that Trump knows that ~30% of the Columbia students are Jewish, right?

And I am sure that he used a scalpel and not a chainsaw to be sure that these cuts did not hurt the population he says he is trying to protect, right?

Right????

Funding from the NIH contributed to 99.4% of the approved medications from 2010 to 2019.

The current administration has blocked new research and has jeopardized the ongoing research projects.

Object permanence develops during a baby's first year. It means they understand objects and people exist even when they can't see them. You can play peek-a-boo with your baby to help them with object permanence.

Has anyone ever checked Trump’s competence by playing peak-a-boo with him?

My biggest worry about the MAGA takeover of the NIH is that they will only fund research they decide is "important".

Would they fund the study of lizards that led to the discovery of GLP-1 (Ozempic, etc)?

What about fruit fly research that led to the discovery of the innate immune system?
