The N.I.H.’s [Trump/Musk] announcement was made, of course, in the language of “efficiency.”
...
The problem with doing that is that these grants are a crucial reason that America has the most advanced biomedical research infrastructure — the N.I.H. awards grants to more than 300,000 researchers at more than 2,500 institutions, including the Mayo Clinic and the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas — along with some of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the world. Every dollar in N.I.H. grants spurs $2.09 in economic activity, and every $100 million in investment leads to 78 patents and $598 million in further research, according to N.I.H. calculations. Those “overheads” help cover basic infrastructure that make all this possible.

This is what I posted to Facebook.

"A federal judge just blocked Trump’s NIH cuts, but it is limited to the blue states that sued. It won’t affect any red states because they didn’t sue, because they don’t care about their people."
And I wrote Randy Boyd of UT and UT Hospital and asked them what they are going to do about it.
Yes, I'm a current patient. I want more research done so maybe cancer treatment won't still be cut, burn, and poison!
