Be sure to share that gift link (from an economics professor) with people whose clinical trials have been interrupted or whose promising medical research was stopped midway. Or you can share it with their families, if the patients themselves are no longer alive.

We'll come back to see whether your colleague's predictions are true or yours.

Crushing dissent of the genocide in Gaza is also catastrophic, and rewarding Miller and Trump for doing so is an act of equal parts evil and cowardice. A deal with this admin to protect research funding is meaningless, just as all deals with them are.

Do we really genuinely believe that funding is safe now? That's an honest question. I just find it hard to believe that it's all good now and the yes, absolutely vitally important medical research will now go on normally.
