NIH Budget Cuts Looming

If you care about science, then contact your representatives and ask them to oppose the Republican NIH funding cut proposals. As JuniorProf notes, most of the leads in terms of therapeutics are happening in the public sector, not the private sector.

While you're at it, how about mentioning the CDC too?

Thank you.
