(5) This is not hyperbole, and while I wish this were simply the plot for a fictional thriller, it is our present reality. Every day this persists is a day of progress lost, and consequently a longer path toward badly needed advancements in research.

(4) There are thousands of cancer researchers who collaborate with their federal peers, and whose work relies on the resources provided by these agencies. All of their vital activity under the NIH umbrella came to an immediate halt in real time during this conference.
