Thank you to the CA State Senate for passing @SenJohnLaird’s SJR-4 urging Congress to reverse harmful NIH funding cuts. CA currently gets $5B+ annually, with $2B+ going to UCs & CSUs. These cuts threaten future treatments, current research & jobs. #CALeg #CaliforniaLegislature

No family should have to endure what Erica Cole and her mother experienced. SB 29 ensures that families can seek justice on behalf of a deceased loved one. It's about accountability, compassion, and ensuring such tragedies never happen again. https://t.co/96cGH4ww7K
