Good morning, friends
I'm reading "A Research Agenda to Mitigate Racial and Ethnic Disparities in U.S. Critical Care Medicine: An Official American Thoracic Society ( @atscommunity.bsky.social ) Research Statement"

Research Saves Lives
At Hopkins, we just went live with an expansive website showing the extraordinary value of research, the impact of cuts to research, what's at stake, resources for our research community, etc.
Check it out: researchsaveslives.jhu.edu
Standing ovation for @iwashyna.bsky.social extraordinary achievement award!!
There’s been some “advice” coming from some quarters for scientists not to focus on DEI-related funding cuts.
I wholly reject this concept.
Cutting programs designed to reduce science and healthcare disparities is as detrimental to science as anything else, both morally and functionally.

This is how much $$ each state will lose if the #NIH indirect (overhead) rate cuts are allowed to go through (from bit.ly/4b4sD8n). The devastating effects will be felt by universities, researchers, and patients across the country.
Thank you for lending your voice to counter misinformation about this important issue @iwashyna.bsky.social!
Cutting NIH indirect costs is like funding the planes and pilots but not the airports - it doesn’t work
Great to see @iwashyna.bsky.social on @cnn.com highlighting this issue 👏
