This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure. This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research. Scientists Discover Way To Reverse Chemical Process Linked With Alzheimer’s Disease share.google/Vm0hfSMfkGIc...

Still not sure if you should attend a Take Back our Science Rally today? If you do nothing, nothing will change, and the way the current administration deals with science, things need to change. Visit this link to find your local rally! fight2win.standupforscience.... #March7

One way to look at Newton's First La of Motion is that it takes one unbalanced force to change anything.
Not majority opinion. Not good intentions. One unbalanced force, applied persistently, in a direction.
Be that unbalanced force of change on March 7th.

A Senate committee rejected Trump's proposed 40% cut to NIH funding. Philadelphia's medical research community says it means advocacy efforts are having an impact on Capitol Hill.
