"I Used to Run the N.I.H. Here’s What Worries Me." By Harold Varmus, former director of The National Institutes of Health, former director the National Cancer Institute (NCI) "And yet, for baffling reasons, the executive branch is now waging war on America’s scientific enterprise." "Preventing this destruction will require at least two actions. Americans who value the spirit of discovery — and eagerly await new ways to confront disease, strengthen our economy and improve the quality of human life — need to issue a strong outcry. And legislators must exercise their constitutional responsibilities to oppose unqualified candidates for important federal positions, constrain damaging actions by the executive branch and give science agencies the resources needed to do their jobs. This is not a fight that our country can afford to lose." #health #medicine #science #engineering #research #innovation #education https://lnkd.in/exdm3nP6
