Doing my graduate studies at NIH has made me realize the value and importance of sustaining an environment in which bold risks can be taken to advance our basic understanding of life and that knowledge can be translated to patient care. Our current administration has burdened this effort both with the repeated layoffs of capable workers and a looming uncertainty of budget,
resources, and our rights as fellows. I am hopeful that by amplifying our voices we can maintain awareness of the precarity of our position, and the value of what stands to be lost.
