Prior court's conclusion:
"I've never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable"
"I've never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable"
There is no solace for NIH funded researchers in this Supreme Court decision. Grants that were ripped away on dubious grounds, restored by a reasonable judge are now again terminated by an out-of-control Supreme Court. Labs will shutter, people will lose jobs. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...
US Supreme Court lets Trump cut diversity-related NIH grants
The U.S. Supreme Court let President Donald Trump's administration on Thursday proceed with sweeping cuts to National Institutes of Health grants for research related to racial minorities or LGBT people, part of his crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and transgender identity.

Researcher Amita Gupta has spent more than a decade planning and running a $70-million trial to study a new tuberculosis drug, enrolling ~6,000 participants in 13 countries. It might all have been for nothing.
That's because a new NIH policy has abruptly cut off billions to trials abroad. 🧪

My talking points in recent interviews, please use as you see fit:
1.Every $1 in NIH funding returns ~$2.50 to the economy.
2.Every $1B in cuts from NIH extramural = 7500 lost employees, just in science.
3.These don't include priceless improvements in health.

For those who aren't biologists: This is a biosafety cabinet. Every biomedical research lab in the country has one or more of these bio safety cabinets. They use air flow to protect cells from contamination by bacteria and fungal spores while you are working with them.

This is really extremely bad: withholding urgent public health studies because they’re not convenient for the president’s political narrative.
It's not just that officials have blocked CDC from publishing bird flu studies
Scientists were ordered to come up with studies on health risks of wildfires instead
That came as the president was criticizing the California governor's handling of fires

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives
Trump funding freeze a blatant violation of Constitution, federal law: Legal experts
The Constitution, federal law and court decisions make it clear: President Donald Trump's order to pause federal funding is against the law, legal experts tell ABC News.

Here's a little tip I learned some years ago. If you can take a photo of Orion, try to get the image out of focus like I did just now. You can really see why Betelguise (top left) is such a well known red giant star. #astronomy #astrophotography
