PhD programs are pausing admissions to graduate school due to NIH indirect cost cuts. See the growing number of programs here: #gid=0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… How is science supposed to advance with fewer trainees, less $ for research? This is devastating.

⚠️WORST FLU SEASON ever since 2002-2003 when we began to track flu (red, first graph). Worst hit this year are children ages 0-4 and 5-17. ▶️We also have significantly LOWER flu vaccine uptake this year, one of the lowest flu vaccine coverages (red 3rd graph). Indisputable facts.
