TL;DR: Science spending pays off.

Federal funding drives UCSF breakthroughs that save lives & fuel our economy. 50% cuts to science agencies would be devastating. Tell Congress science is too important to cut.

What an incredible honor to speak at Discovery Talks during UCSF’s Alumni Weekend. This signature event by the Graduate Division spotlighted the most exciting science, research, and discoveries coming out of UCSF. This is the future of science—grateful to be part of it! #AW25 #UCSF

✨🕯️We gathered last week to celebrate the life of Dr. June Fisher (1933-2024). She taught me that true innovation isn’t about flashy technology—it’s about designing for the everyday in ways that are essential yet invisible. Her legacy of finding beauty in the mundane will continue to inspire us all.

We met with policymakers about the importance of federal programs that support biomedical research and discovery. Proposed NIH F&A cuts to 15% would cost UCSF ~$200M annually, threatening life-saving research. We urge protecting the current rate negotiation system.

Had an amazing time at my first #IHIForum in Orlando. Had the incredible opportunity to co-present on #AFHS research with Jorie Butler, Mary Dolansky & Stephanie Rogers. Taking home the message from Don Berwick to do more listening and to ask more often: “Tell me more.”

🤸🏻‍♀️Ken Dychtwald challenges us to reimagine #agefriendly care at the @johnahartford spotlight session at the @TheIHI Forum. Aligning healthspans with lifespans means being able to do the things you want to do, with purpose and joy, across every decade of life. #IHIForum
