paid by NIH. Thus a huge investment that NIH made in these talented investigators was wasted. There is nothing “efficient” about what is happening to the NIH. Ultimately it will decimate the US scientific research enterprise, and some of that cost will be paid in human lives.

On Valentine’s day, 15 Assistant Professors at NIH who had started their research labs in the last 2 years were fired. Their scientific expertise was built over 10-12 years of training, most if not all of which was supported by NIH. The start up funds for their laboratories were

Here is the major challenge for us to face.
It is not a smart move if the intention of the White House is to support rigorous science and innovation.
But what if they don't and see opportunities to redirect funds to very different priorities...

And w/o federal funding research in the US is largely compromised as a “pause” would requiere many labs to let go people with high level training and expertise. Recovering from such personnel losses takes lots of resources in training and time. Not a smart move!
About a month after Donald Trump took office as the 47th US president, almost all grant-review meetings remain suspended at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), preventing the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research from spending much of its US$47 billion annual budget.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.
100% of his salary is paid by WA state.
Elon fired him. Share his story.

You still have your family.
You still have your friends.
You still have your work.
You still have your passions.
You still have your diversions.
You still have the capacity to feel joy, and the means of doing so.
You still have your mind, which is and will always be yours alone.
And you still have the ability, no matter how difficult it may seem, to choose to carry on with your life, and spend the one and only existence you will get for all eternity in as loving, fulfilling, and authentic a way as you possibly can.

Many of my American friends may feel apprehensive or frightened after the results of this election. You are not alone in sharing those worries.
But I urge you to come together with others, be cautious, protect yourselves, and brace for a challenging four years.

IMPORTANT: If you’re turned away at the polls because your name is not on the register, don’t walk away.
Your response [verbatim] should be: “Give me a provisional ballot with a receipt, as required by law.”
Don’t let them steal your vote.
