Help save the Dog Aging Project.
Despite being one of the most influential, productive and impactful NIH supported projects over the past 5 years, the National Institute on Aging has inexplicably chosen to withdraw support for the Dog Aging Project. For now, I’m won't get into the details of the process or my personal feelings about it, as the important thing is to ensure the Dog Aging Project doesn’t end. If you believe that the Dog Aging Project has value and should continue, I have three requests of you:
(1) Please consider signing the petition to the NIH Director here: https://t.co/Y1XarAgIcq
(2) Please consider sending an email to your elected representatives here: https://t.co/npr3rkNTXt
(3) Please share this message with your network as broadly as you can
Thank you!!!
