Nick was a visionary in #malaria treatment whose work transformed global health.
He will be remembered with great respect and affection

The Roland A. Cooper Award was established in 2024 to support parasitologists from endemic areas to attend international parasitology conferences. Your generous contribution, no matter the size, will have an immediate impact. https://t.co/8umxdltq2o
Without NIH funds to run research labs at academic institutions, as a country we cannot train PhD students. No physician scientists. No undergraduates get experience in labs. Nothing.
Industry does none of these things.
Other countries will have to take the lead.
In the last FY, IN universities received $414 million in grants. That translated into $1.1 BILLION in economic activity. With the proposed cuts, the state of IN will generate ~$451 million less. Check out the economic impact of NIH funding in your state: https://t.co/yQAm97VTYG
Today I am thinking of the people I’ve met around the world—children, parents, health workers, teachers—who will be harmed by the Trump administration’s decision to try to dismantle USAID and walk back U.S. leadership in global health and poverty reduction.
I’m thinking, too, about the dangerous ripple effects this will cause. In an increasingly interconnected world, we’re all better off when lifesaving medicines are developed and delivered, when disease outbreaks are halted, and when nations lift themselves out of poverty.
Strong leaders throughout history have understood that foreign aid builds a heathier, safer, more prosperous world—and that’s a goal everyone should be able to get behind.

More uproar about the loss of VEuPathDB:
Critical loss: the effects of VEuPathDB defunding on global health - The Lancet Microbe https://t.co/a40BuIhlfh
The VEuPathDB group and researchers who depend on this data have put incredible effort into seeking answers from NIH and looking for a way to at least keep the data up until its replacement is in place. Incredible!
