Since the 1940s, the engine driving U.S. economic and military competitiveness has been federal support of research universities. Now Trump is sabotaging a research and development pipeline that is the envy of the world.
Exciting meeting by great organizer @nupharm1 Look forward to it!

There are days in life that shake you.
I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at @Columbia & academic career... 1/🧵

President Trump and Elon Musk’s funding cuts to groundbreaking medical research do NOT Make America Great. That’s why I’m on the Senate floor introducing a resolution pledging support for NIH & asking for immediate passage. Watch. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1lDxLzWgw…

The NIH funds 4,400 active projects totaling $2.5 billion in Texas, much of it in Houston.
These cuts violate the law, hurt people, and undermine the very system of scientific research & groundbreaking advancements that we are so proud happen in #TX07.

The study section I suppose to participate was also cancelled in a sudden manner. NIH fund was allocated by the Congress to make American healthy. We should urge our lawmakers to stand up again this madness. thetransmitter.org/funding/f…
