@umichdash scholar and @UMichNursing alumnus Joshua Truchan (BSN ’25) learned early that a single moment can upend a family. When he was 8, his mother was severely injured in a car accident, an ordeal that led to months of hospitalizations and surgeries.

We’ll take “National Recognition” for $1,000. 😏
How cool being on @Jeopardy!

U.S. bioscience research is collapsing.
This is the map of a systemic rot.

NIH new award pace this year: 14.6% of normal.

If you wanted to stall science, you don't pick & choose states.

You just freeze the entire map.

In case you missed it:
▫️ ~95,000 scientists gone (@nytimes)
▪️ ~$2.4B in NIH research wiped out
▫️ ~$6B in economic loss (@DrCatharineY / PNAS)

This is what (predictably) follows next:
⇣ early-career scientists exit for good
⇣ breakthrough discoveries never made
⇣ trials that never open
⇣ labs that quietly shut down
⇣ global talent choosing other countries
⇣ the next decade of innovation erased before it starts

Sadly, you don’t "bounce back" from 14%
you just hollow out the system.

For a country that leads in science, this is the mo(u)rning after “National Science Appreciation Day”
