Seat belts are a restriction to freedom but have undeniably improved public safety reducing traffic deaths by 45%. we are way overdue to use this framework for gun control with another senseless tragedy today. Improved Mental healthcare access is also key

Nice infographic on the importance of why federal facility and administrative (F&A e.g. indirects) are Extremely important for the life-saving research going on around the country. Indirects matter. Protocols dont work without electricity and safety regulations! @emory-choa-cfair.bsky.social

Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.
