BREAKING: Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski just made a bold move, declaring she won’t support any of President Trump’s nominees unless they undergo full FBI vetting. This marks a significant development and could have major implications for the administration’s agenda.

Ask yourself: How many people do I know who have or had cancer? Failure to provide support basic and translational biological spells the end of progress in treatment of cancer and other diseases. No investment, no return. End of story.
"Starting in the 80s, that investment in basic science began to pay off, driving a revolution in the molecular biology of cancer... US gov't funding for science strengthens the economy in ways beyond cures." I wrote today abt the case for science investment:

Folks, disease doesn’t give a Tinker’s damn about political party. Federal support through NIH, NSF, and other agencies for basic and applied biological science has made the US the undisputed world leader in these sciences. Cutting back in this area is a recipe for disaster.

Stellar summary, thanks for sharing! Just done watching myself and 100% agreed on the critical importance of scientists broadly sharing what we do, why we do it, and how NIH (+NSF/DOE)-funded research is a tremendous investment for our nation on many fronts –

The hill I will die on: STEM grad programs MUST teach PhD students how to communicate their science to the public and legislators alike. This is 💯 not a drill.

The $3B Human Genome Project was started under a Republican administration and later acknowledged by the Obama admin to have returned $141 to the economy for every $1 spent. Science has a higher ROI than any other category of government spending.
