🔹 Tell your Senators and Congress reps to act now: ✔️ Oppose the cap & call for its immediate reversal. ✔️ Hold hearings to examine the policy’s impact on medical research. ✔️ Require NIH to engage with research institutions before changing funding structures.

If this cap is implemented, universities, medical centers, and research institutions could face devastating cuts—leading to fewer research projects, reduced innovation, and limited training for the next generation of vision scientists. We can’t afford to let this happen.

The indirect cost reimbursements are essential funds that keep labs running, support researchers, and sustain the infrastructure necessary for groundbreaking discoveries in blindness prevention and treatment of diseases like #Keratoconus, #Fuchsdystrophy, #Glaucoma, and #DiabeticRetinopathy.

🚨 Protect Vision Research—Take Action Now! 🚨 A proposed 15% cap on NIH indirect cost reimbursements threatens the future of medical research including vision sciences research supported by grants from National Eye Institute. #Ophthosky #Medsky #Science

With an aging population and rising prevalence of eye diseases, investing in vision research is not just important—it’s urgent. We really hope that our Congress reps ensure that federal funding keeps pace with inflation so that researchers can continue their vital work preserving & restoring sight.

Why does this matter? Vision researchers are leading breakthroughs in gene therapies, AI, big data, regenerative medicine, and imaging technologies—advancements that could transform care for millions. Yet, with diminishing resources, the ability to fund and sustain these innovations is at risk.

(1/3) Over the last decade, the NEI budget has grown by 27.6% from $702M in 2012 to $896.5M in 2024. But here’s the catch: biomedical inflation has risen by 32.8% during the same period. 📉 Adjusted for inflation, the NEI’s purchasing power has actually dropped by 5.2%. #Ophthosky #MedSky #Science

While going on tirades about H1B visas, everyone has apparently forgotten the >100k residents who exist MedSky

You can't work 80 hours a week and raise a family or do much of anything outside of exist solely to work. This isn't American, it's indentured servitude and company leaders asking for it just want cheap labor

Imagine being ok with working 80 hours a week for 40 hours pay.

People who claim to work consistently 80 hours a week (or more) really mean they work some lower number, like 50, but are always physically present in the workplace 'just in case' and mainly to brown nose the boss. They do all kinds of things in the other 30 hours - like just sitting around with their thumb up their ass. It's a workplace culture - hunger games culture - that obliterates private life while adding little (or nothing) to productivity. Totally dysfunctional - but it generates fees, so everyone plays along with the theater, and always claims he's doing more than he's doing.

A casual conversation about bacterial keratitis with a mentor resulted in a deep dive in the literature to look at every bacteria that has caused keratitis. We found all of these --- Eventually, resulted in a comprehensive review on bacterial keratitis (link in comments!). #Ophthalmology #Ophthosky
