This weekend, I spoke at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in Phoenix, Arizona 🇺🇸. I encouraged young scientists to enter the field, not give up, study hard, and think independently. There is no longer a mindset of “we are the science” imposed by an authoritarian group at the NIH. Academic freedom leads the way to gold-standard science. That science leads the way to making America healthy again. For my full speech ➡️

High drug prices are bankrupting Americans and our country. It’s long past time for our colleagues in other countries to step-up and pay into the cost of drug research and development.

I applaud President Donald J. Trump for his recent executive order on dangerous gain-of-function research. Our focus should be on research that will make the American people healthy, not research that puts them in danger. Thanks for having me Rob Schmitt NEWSMAX!
