‘This cancellation will cost lives’: Harvard professor on losing funding for medical research

A laureate professor working on early diagnosis of ALS, or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, is one of several Harvard University researchers who have received stop-work orders after the Trump administration froze more than $2.2 billion in funding over the university’s refusal to bow to policy demands. David Walt, a professor at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital said he received an email Tuesday from the Department of Health and Human Services that funding for a grant to research ALS was being immediately canceled. #CNN #News
