Duke Alumni Engagement and Development转发了
Duke research saves lives. Now, we must save research. National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding fuels innovation, the economy, and life-saving discoveries. Cuts could have major impacts on our community. Here's what we know... Duke University Health System | Duke University School of Medicine
We need more posts like this, telling the story of the economic and health impact of cutting this funding
As a woman in STEM and someone with an understanding of the pipeline, the impact of R/D dollars is significant in moving things along the development pipeline as well as advancing research. Now is an opportune time to get familiar with the importance of NIH and the research that they support.
Thank you Duke for standing up for science and the future careers of the worlds leading scientists and medical professionals.
I hope that with the efforts being put forth by leaders in the science and health arenas the tide will turn.
Only two arguments will work: 1. If Duke goes, the nearby cities will become ghost towns 2. This is good news for China Unfortunate, arguments like saving lives etc don’t resonate anymore with the audience (and many politicians)
This will affect all of us and future generations to come.
We should not stop investing and doing researches because it is one of the ways to build our future efficiently
Our future well-being depends on it
This is a powerful post! I’m sure Duke is also preparing a contingency to tailor their research for funding from firms in the life science space, otherwise the research funding could completely dry up. ?They’ve got brilliant people there and I hope they can navigate this transition smoothly.

1 周I was incredibly fortunate to receive NIH funding for doctoral and post-doctoral studies at Duke (a long time ago) in biochemistry and immunology, respectively. When I left Durham, the scientific road was wide open, and I had the chance to work with an incredibly talented and diverse group of scientists and engineers in the sometimes frustrating but always rewarding task of developing medicines for cancer and other grievous illnesses. I always thought that this same opportunity would be available for the next generation; it never occurred to me that the golden jewel of global medical research and innovation would be quashed from within. We need to continue to speak out in defense of science in the face of the most potent regime of science denial in history.
