Dear funding agencies,

I know we all want to discover the wonder drug that will cure the horrible diseases, but to do that, we need to invest in basic, unsexy, foundational research on how the systems work. Funding can’t all be drug development.

Sincerely,
Looking for basic research grants.

Interesting! Will have to try this the next time one of my papers gets rejected from a journal 😅😅😅

Finally, someone has solved a real problem with AI! No more having to take a paper in the format for a journal that rejected you, and reformat it for a new journal. Well done!! formatmypaper.com

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

This is so disappointing. Fundamental **aka DISCOVERY ** science underpins training of the next generation of scientists, irrespective of if they go into translation labs or not. Failure to support it = turning off the tap. No discoveries, nothing to translate. Weak workforce #NHMRC

My major note? It completely leaves out fundamental research as a priority 🤯

Which is wild, #NHMRC’s job is to "support the highest-quality research, from 👉BASIC science👈 through to clinical, public health and services research" (NHMRC Corporate Plan: nhmrc.gov.au)

Another example, close to the #HudsonInstitute’s ❤️ is the discovery of #IFNε, an antiviral cytokine found almost exclusively in the female reproductive tract

Long overlooked, IFNε is now known to play keys role in protection from #ovariancancer and progression of #endometriosis
