My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

The round-the clock work of officials inside NIH helped put the agency on track to get all of its grant money out to labs across the country, the majority of its nearly $48 billion budget.

It was a feat that earlier this year seemed nearly impossible.

I am part of the world's population where if you send me a flipflop emoji, I will respond with "ouch, wtf!" 🩴

Me too! 🐓

📣 New preprint from the SCIMaP team!

Across three studies, we show that communicating the economic impact of NIH funding cuts—especially with interactive quizzes and maps—decreases approval and motivates action to oppose the cuts, across the political spectrum. 🧵 1/8

Yeah there are a few of them..the case studies are fun to read. If i remember though, they are all us based...

There have been a few cool books written that support that idea. They also have this cool interactive mall map:

#SCIMaP estimates current & future economic losses in local communities across the US (counties & Congressional Districts). We explain our approach in a new preprint: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Good call on the double hashbrowns, I'm going to try that next time (with jalapeños)....and we do need that funding for sure to keep our system going. 🚍🚍🚍

Is that one serving of hashbrowns or are there eggs underneath? Also you should get to ride marta for free.

The White House's proposed FY26 budget would cut NIH funding by >40%. Our new #SCIMaP report projects the budget would lead to economic losses throughout the US with $10M+ lost in almost every House district.
