1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

To my friends and colleagues at UAB, IU, UF, FSU, UL, WashU, OSU, CWRU, etc, etc. Call both your senators and your representative. They listen. Emphasize the direct economic impact of NIH research, and the indirect impacts on pharmaceutical/biotech. Underscore its relevance to national security.

During the pandemic, I frequently talked about the importance & value of neighborhood pharmacies as trusted messengers. How very disappointing: - ~30% of pharmacies have closed since 2010 - independent pharmacies & those in minority (Black, Latino) neighborhoods are more likely to close
