"National Institutes of Health officials have urged scientists to remove all references to mRNA #vaccine technology from their grant applications…NIH acting Director Matthew Memoli sent an email across the NIH instructing that any grants, contracts, or collaborations involving mRNA vaccines be reported up the chain to #HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s office and the White House."

#Science Homecoming (https://sciencehomecoming.com) is an amazing project that has U.S. scientists (primarily at universities) write opinion pieces to their hometown newspapers advocating for the #nih and #nsf.

The idea, in a nutshell, is to remind Americans why research (and more generally, science) is important to them and their local communities.
