See my new National Review article on preserving Bayh-Dole, nationalreview.com/2026/01/save-b…

Universities now invest $30B+ of their own resources in academic research—more than industry, non‑profits, and state/local governments contribute combined. @AAUniversities Graham Andrews details the trend here: aau.edu/newsroom/leadi…

Fmr US Ambassador to China and Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke explains how strong patent rights -- such as the Bayh-Dole Act -- are critical to securing America's biotechnology leadership on the global stage. Read more in @fortunemagazine: buff.ly/AngP6GT

Sec. Lutnick's proposal to tax university royalties would 1) threaten the Bayh-Dole tech transfer system and 2) harm U.S. innovation and economic growth. Read our one-pager on the issue: buff.ly/WFXknhj

Read this insightful @ITIFdc piece explaining a big part of the U.S. innovation system: @NIH seeds the breakthroughs, the private sector takes the risk to develop them -- and Bayh-Dole is the bridge that makes that partnership work. buff.ly/G1dIx7e

"Secretary Lutnick’s proposed 50% tax on university licensing revenue would penalize success, choke the innovation pipeline, harm our economy and competitiveness, and leave discoveries locked up in labs." Check out the full piece from @SciPolKate for @AAUniversities: buff.ly/SCHYD3g

Michael Crow, president of @ASU, explains how university research is the "invisible hand" driving many of the technological advances that improve our lives every day.

"At a time when America’s leadership in biotech, artificial intelligence, and other critical sectors relies more than ever on the dynamism of small firms, we cannot afford to weaken the system that Bayh-Dole established." @USIJ buff.ly/wk1UBIF

When communities suffer devastating disasters, America’s Leading Research Universities step in to help them recover.

U.S. universities are the backbone of our innovation economy, turning federal R&D into new industries, millions of jobs, and breakthroughs from GPS to mRNA vaccines. This @CSIS piece underscores what Bayh-Dole has made possible for 45 years! ⬇️ buff.ly/QigVxsm

The United States was the top destination for Nobel laureates in physics, chemistry, and medicine since 2000, @Nature recently found. nature.com/articles/d4158…

When patients afflicted with rare diseases have nowhere else to turn, America’s Leading Research Universities seek the breakthroughs to give them hope.

Wonderful to start the morning today speaking to presidents and chancellors during the Association of American Universities meeting. We covered a wide range of topics from biomedical and health research to the role of research universities in addressing the country’s most pressing challenges. It was an honor to be with you all, @AAUniversities!

"The longer the shutdown goes, the more impact it may have on actually being able to fund the research," said AAU's @SciPolGuy in @insidehighered. insidehighered.com/news/business/…

Great opportunity for grad students, post-docs and professional students in STEMM fields to support new projects aimed at promoting public/civic engagement in STEMM. #SciPol
