So sad Eliza. And your voice about this matters greatly.

It's so sad. And it's the years of work leading up to this point GONE! You can't just pick up where you left off, if they get funding elsewhere 😔

Thank you, Eliza! And cancer is just one of many diseases being studied. If cancer hasn’t touched one’s life, then how about MS, autoimmune diseases, Alzheimer’s or even any disorder that causes pain. There are scientists working on new medicines for pain management. So NIH cuts affect all of us. This regime is all about cruelty.

Thanks for not shutting up about it. Keep speaking truth to power. I'm so sorry for your loss. Cancer is a horrible thing, and it comes for anyone.

This reminds me of a great quote by a federal worker, a union member, on an aflcio.org video. She says, "It's not just an attack on our jobs. It's not just a political disagreement. It's a coordinated assault on the backbone of this country." The federal worker in the video was saying this is beyond jobs and politics. We cannot allow bullies to make bad decisions about things we care deeply about. Thanks for talking about this, Eliza.

Feel for your loss. Can definitely relate. As I’m sure most everyone at some point and time during life. Be well 🥂

This affects every single person in the world! What if a scientist in America discovered the cure, Trump doesn't realise they could sell it across the world! I hope every single GOP and maga gets cancer! Fuck cancer and fuck dump!!
