Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.

Excellent 🧵 on this evening's NIH announcement of a dramatic reduction in indirect rates for research institutions, which amounts to a generational restructuring of the US research and development ecosystem. These cuts are effective immediately, not just for new grants but for existing ones.

Nikki Giovanni, Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou, Ntozake Shange, and more taught us how to love--how to love ourselves and how to love others. Our literary giants deserve our love in life and in death.
