1. Biology is awesome and often surprising
2. Investments in basic science research are still uncovering new discoveries
3. We don't yet know how magnetic iron in immune cells will be used to help human health, but I am confident someone will find a way science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

American science continues to shrink despite the story being told to the public.
And it’s the long term consequences that will be most devastating.

The proposed FY2027 budget includes a $5.8B (−12.3%) cut to the NIH. United for Medical Research calculated this could cost ~50,000 jobs and $11.6B in economic activity, with 26 states losing >$100M each. A tragedy for science, patients, and the economy. #NIH
