Wow. Just wow. The death of cancer research funding 💔

My hunch about the new NIH policy: I bet it won't fix pay lines or reduce the number of apps in a significant manner. Most PIs are already under 6, & the prolific ones will find workarounds....hello Co-I! (but it's a good thing that may promote junior PI). Plus, it might…
