Cutting NIH funds hurts all Americans. Why? Three main reasons: #1: These funds support a huge industry in all 50 states. For every $1 of NIH funding generated, there is a short-term return of ~$2.46 in economic activity1. The $4B in cuts will take away $10B from the economy.

If you are worried about how @NIH’s proposed 15% cap on research support will impact American competitiveness and biomedical innovation, call your reps! The more they hear from us as constituents and private citizens, the more likely they are to fight for science.
American Society for Cell Biology@ASCBiology

@NIH’s new 15% cap on research funds threatens U.S. science. Call Congress now to oppose it! Your voice matters—act today. Find your rep’s number at govtrack.us. #SupportScience #cell biology Learn more: ascb.org/science-policy…

Like everyone else in the C elegans community, I rejoice not only for the validation of usefulness of our favorite worm but for basic research. Take home lesson: Funding Agencies in all countries should support fundamental and blue sky research.

This just in - or should I say "on"? C. elegans has a skin microbiome & it is distinct from its surroundings. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Designed and performed almost entirely by the most talented @ucsdbiosciences undergraduate (now @Stanford graduate student) Nadia Haghani.
