Hey @DaveMcCormickPA -- Trump's announcement of 15% indirects on NIH grants reneges on $1.22b in contracts with PA universities and businesses. That's money not going into salaries for Pennsylvanians. You might consider pushing back on that.

Hey @CongressmanGT -- Trumps announcement of 15% indirect rate on NIH grants reneges on $122 million in contracts with Penn State ... the largest employer in your district. That seems like something you might want to push back on.

Dear @CongressmanGT
Pennsylvania's 15th congressional district received $89m in funding from NSF in 2024. That $ paid for salaries, state income tax, rents, property taxes, and sales taxes. Federal shut downs hurt PA communities and cost PA jobs.

Dear @CongressmanGT,
The Commonwealth receives $2.8b in NIH funding. PA-15 receives $122m. That pays salaries, state income taxes, rents, property taxes, sales taxes in your district. Please stand up for Pennsylvanians.

Whether in industry, academia, or government, "leadership" has become a title to defend rather than an activity to be carried out. We all suffer the consequences through stagnation, at best, and exploitation, at worst.
