Research funded by the NIH which our government is actively gutting

Yep, this effort is the culmination of 50 years of research. Could be the last harrah of the NIH with the amount of cuts we've had and the scientists who are taking jobs in other countries.

Unfortunately a staggering amount of research in other countries is largely funded by the NIH/USA.

What a shortsighted view.

The technology used on this same article was funded by Max Planck (Germany), Sweden and the NIH to a french and a USA scientist. Should those collaborations stop?
