The Costs

Inspired by The Bethesda Declaration, by conversations with colleagues and friends, and by many ideas from many around the country, I thought that it would be of some use to create a limited, free, web-based resource providing easy access to some of these. Writing is not my strong suit, so I believe it would be best to simply point to items provided by others. A critical goal is to provide information about the costs to the nation and the world of the politically motivated steps being taken by our current federal government, focusing on the attacks on science and expertise. I am most interested in hearing about and sharing information regarding the impact on science, health, and the lives and well-being of those not directly involved in these matters, including local workers and businesses that will suffer financially, along with the health and well-being of caregivers and others. So, if you have any links that you would like shared, please contact me. Struggles with my own health prevent me from being a reliable correspondent, but I will try my best. Also, if I am sharing information without giving proper credit, or providing information that should not be shared, please let me know.
