The High Cost of Falling Behind
From #cancer breakthroughs to #AI-powered #drug discovery, the #US has long been a global leader in #biomedical innovation. But that leadership is not a guarantee - it’s a fundamental and intentional choice. Trump’s choices are putting that leadership in jeopardy.
In the past two months we’ve seen cuts to research funding, regulatory instability and a retreat from public-private partnerships. And now,: #HHS to cut more than 20,000 jobs.

Massive, Unarchivable #Datasets of #Cancer, #Covid, #HIV and #Alzheimer's Research Could Be Lost Forever
Days before RFK announced 10,000 #HHS staffers would lose their jobs, a message appeared on #NIH research repository sites saying they were "under review." Unlike other government datasets or web pages, downloading or otherwise archiving NIH data often requires a Data Use Agreement between a researcher institution and the agency.

ABC News · Gladstone's Bruce Baldwin sets out on bike for brain cancer to honour late wife NatalieBy Jasmine Hines

Good evening. It's 10PM, Wednesday, 2nd April. The headlines: A BBC crew has arrived in quake-hit Mandalay. President #Trump is set to declare worldwide #tariffs, with a 25% duty on imported #cars, at 21:00 GMT. Europe anticipates the repercussions. In Britain, more than half of butterfly species are experiencing a prolonged fall. Actor Val Kilmer has passed away at 65 due to pneumonia following a fight with throat #cancer. #BBC #News

If you or anyone you know has or develops cancer, you've just been deprioritized by the Trump administration. Scientific work that drives medical breakthroughs is now in jeopardy as his team slashes basic funding to several agencies, including the NIH, which is the world's largest funder of #cancer research and funds countless other #health studies. Hundreds of active research projects are being put on hold or terminated.
