A huge missing piece in the public discourse about federal funding at universities is that these are not handouts but are instead used to address challenges that the government considers important for the country and scientific progress. There is a massive disconnect here. 1/5

So what's happening with medical research in the US? This is the cumulative award count from the NIH for the year.
Doesn't look so good.
But it gets worse.

An in depth expose of the attack on and illegal halting of @NIH funding! For so long there’s been bipartisan support for science and medicine. This is not the way to enact reform..and it is devastating science in the US, especially medical schools theatlantic.com/health/archi…

I'm quoted in this article on how NIH is still blocked from funding new grants.
This sabotage makes no sense. Nearly every medicine or treatment you've ever received has roots in NIH-funded research, and every $1 of NIH spending generates $2.46 in returns.

Thats a great start!!
Let’s make it 50? Because every state has NIH supported research in it. Research is what gives you your medicine and technology and quality of life.

If you want to “Make America Healthy Again,” one of the worst things you can do is slash the budget of the world's largest public funder of biomedical research, the National Institutes of Health.

These great public universities in GOP states will lose at least $1 billion due to Trump NIH cuts. I wonder how their senators feel about decimating their universities of innovation…

New article by @KruRyno where he shows that facial dominance predicts intelligence. Children expect dominant-looking individuals to be "really smart." Less consistent in these data was a gender stereotype about intelligence.
