For decades, government funding “has positioned the United States as a global leader” in science, says scientist Tom Maniatis of @zuckermanbrain.bsky.social and the New York Genome Center. He highlights how a new #NIH policy cutting money for research “jeopardizes” this, in Cell tinyurl.com/ubw6uphe

Former NIH director Dr. Harold Varmus joins us to discuss what cuts to the institutes’ staff and research funding could mean for science.
