It's not just about Harvard. "This is the science model the U.S. has developed over 80 years: The government sets the agenda and funds the work; university scientists design the studies and find the answers. The president’s willingness to upend that model has revealed its fragility."

On Capitol Hill with Mike Imperiale & @ssclabquips.bsky.social to help @asm.org educate members of Congress and their staff about biosafety, biosecurity, and sustained federal science funding. #ASMAdvocacy
