Federal funding for US biomedical research is moribund.

Since October 1 2025, NIH is -80% in new grants and -70% in values (total dollars).

Labs are closing down and researchers are leaving science.

To what end?

[Association for Women in Science @AWISNational]

Favour Akabogu is passionate about understanding disease mechanisms and developing therapeutic strategies for treatment. She is currently a PhD candidate in the Sarcoma Lab at @UMassChan. https://t.co/e1CA4v9prs #WomenInScience #MemberMonday
