For North Carolina to remain successful, our people need to be healthy. That’s why we expanded Medicaid and got health care to hundreds of thousands working North Carolinians. Republicans in DC want to rip it away.

I made this shirt for the #standupforscience protest back in the spring. Now I feel like I need one for every day of the week. That was the beginning but it has gotten so much worse in the past 7 months.

The NIH’s new plan to fund all years of a grant upfront will drastically cut the number of proposals funded this year. Typically funds are split over the funding period with deposits each year. Without an increase in the NIH budget, paylines will become impossibly low. Another blow to US science.🧪

Republican NC legislators are “gunning” to add our state to the list- calling concealed carry a constitutional right and abolishing permits. Disgraceful.
