This policy will devastate scientific progress in the US. It will make it impossible to retain the greatest scientists in the US.
An alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply. This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes. The era of abusing our nation’s immigration system is over.

If we don’t explain science to the public, others will fill the gap with nonsense.

✅✅ A reminder by Dr. Rahaf Ajaj: She wasn’t on the Stanford list… but she made it to the Nobel stage. 🏅 Mary E. Brunkow, one of this year’s Nobel Prize winners in Medicine, has only 34 published papers and an H-index of 21. She never appeared in Stanford’s ranking of the world’s top 2% of scientists. She didn’t chase citations, metrics, or the spotlight. Yet, she became part of a discovery that changed how humanity understands the immune system. Today, while many are busy chasing numbers, titles, and rankings — she reminds us what truly matters in science: the question. 🔹 She wasn’t running after the lists. 🔹 She was running after the truth. Because in the end, it’s not about how many papers you publish… It’s about how deeply your idea can reshape the world. Focus on your idea, not your ranking.

Microglia feet are highly dynamic and can be in contact with dense networks of axons. In this video by our #ElectronMicroscopy team using MICrONS data, a microglia (purple) contacts with an excitatory pyramidal neuron (gold). Slowly the axons under the feet are revealed.

#NIH research saves lives, creates jobs, & massively supports the economy in #Ohio & every other state! 99.9% of drugs sold today began w/ NIH research. Every one of us has benefited in some way from NIH research. @berniemoreno @SenJonHusted @Jim_Jordan UnitedForMedicalResearch.org
