🔥 Fund, Baby, Fund!.A recent report shows NIH delivers an approximate 250% ROI per dollar. Yet in real, inflation-adjusted terms, NIH funding has been flat or declining for 25 years. That doesn’t preserve our lead — it erodes it, bad. The first solution must be: Fund, Baby,.

As I mentioned a few days ago, the Senate just released a report on U.S. biotech competitiveness. It makes one thing very clear:. 🧬 Biotech is strategic infrastructure. The global healthcare market is estimated at $21T—three times the size of the global energy market. Let that.
