Trump administration continuing to freeze NIH funding despite court order
nature.com/articles/d4158…
English
NIH funding is still illegally frozen. Keep contacting your Senators/Representatives and their staff. In person if possible, by phone or email otherwise.

98% of NIH grants that should have gone out this month, didn't. Despite court orders 'unfreezing' the funds, they are frozen. Biomedical research will grind to a halt. Clinical trials will end. All for no reason: the total impact on the US budget is miniscule

Your Senators and Representatives almost certainly have a regional office close to you. A conversation with them costs nothing more than a few minutes of time, and could help.

We just went in, asked to speak with the Regional Director, and in both cases were invited in. One of the main goals was to ask them to convey information to the legislative team in D.C. If anyone would like info about how we approached it, lmk.
English
A group of us met with the Regional Directors in our Senators' regional offices this morning. They understand the importance of research (in general terms). However, they were not aware of what is going on currently (re: F&A). If you can make a similar trip - please do.

@jmcin9 Oh, wow! The pool in the foreground makes this just amazing.

@liye_yeti Thanks, Li. This was from a dSLR - it probably wouldn't be detectable on a cell phone camera sensor from where I was.
