BREAKING: We're suing the National Institutes of Health over their politically-motivated purge of research grants.
This is an unlawful attack on scientific progress that puts lives at risk.
Why aren't we having mass protests? What do we need to do to make that happen?
Congress has directed the DOD NOT use 2025 CDMRP funding for NF (neurofibromatosis and schwannomatosis) and other conditions including Parkinson's, Lupus, Lung Cancer, Pancreatic, and MORE. Who do you know with contacts in DC or funding to support these losses? email.nfmidwest.org/t/y-77F29DAD...
Official Documents From Lobbyists Detailing CDMRP Continuing Appropriations
Yes, this is a travesty.
Entire NF Research Program has been eliminated from the 2025 CDMRP
My group at the @igtp.bsky.social is looking for a Junior Bioinformatician to help us work on several cancer genomics projects. We have funding for 2025 for this position, but will apply together for funding for a full PhD. Info and application: igtp.jobs.personio.com/job/2023198 or contact me! ๐

$$ savings are negligible overall

Chuck Schumer is a call to action not a name
Yup. This is not a 'leftist' vs. 'liberal' split, this is an authoritarian vs. rule-of-law American split. If Chuck Schumer capitulates, he is on the side of the authoritarians, and all Americans (and certainly all Democrats) will immediately recognize this.
