Apologies for this long post I put together to explain to non-scientists the impact of NIH cuts: Last night, an “atomic bomb” was dropped on the biomedical science community. We were informed that effective immediately, indirect costs on NIH grants (both current and future) would be fixed at 15%.

Where do cats even come from? Despite their unearthly cuteness, not outer space!
Cats belong to a family of carnivorous mammals called Felidae. The oldest know fossil cats belong to the genus Proailurus, which means "before cat." This specimen is about 20 million years old

California: In 2024, 13 schools received more than $10 million in NIH grants, for a total of $3.7 billion. Of that, $2.4 billion went directly to research and $1.3 billion went to facilities and administration. The new rate would bring that to $350 million, a loss of about $900 million.
