A very clear video of the societal impact of dismantling NIH and NSF. However, I would not be that US centered. These new breakthroughs may still happen, but the patents won’t be in the US, they will be own by China, EU or any other country, in some cases by scientists that were in the US…

Drawing the mind, one neuron at a time: A 2022 book walks readers through the life and work of Santiago Ramón y Cajal, the Spaniard whom many consider the founder of modern #neuroscience. Check out the #ScienceBooks Review on #WorldBookDay: scim.ag/3RvHDmQ
Cajal’s rendering of a Purkinje neuron found in the human cerebellum captures the beauty and intricacy of this complex cell.

Trump Admin’s $9 Billion Review of Harvard’s Grants Could Hit Boston’s Hospitals Hardest | News | The Harvard Crimson

While this stand on values and principles at Harvard is needed, it makes the freeze (or termination) of the $9B in federal funding more likely, with the consequences that that would have all of us doing science within the Harvard community. We can only hope for the best.

“If large numbers of academics working in the U.S. do decide to leave, Gold doubts other countries will be able to absorb them all. The end result, he warns, could be an exodus of talent from global science. “My biggest fear,” he says, is that “we’re going to lose a cohort of researchers.”” 🧪
