The NIH And American Civilization

The NIH and the American Biomedical Research Industry are the envy of the world. Cutting into it is the height of stupidity. It is one of the crown jewels of American Civilization. It is not just a Federal Government program. Rather it benefits a lot of private enterprise in America. NIH biomedical research fuels the Pharmaceutical Research Enterprise, the Biotechnology Industry, and the entire Health Care Industry. Kneecapping the NIH will damage the American economy and the entire Healthcare Industry. Trump Musk are either ignorant of this or they do not care. I am not sure which is worse.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
