Should we be concerned of the indirect effects of the $billions of dollars that once flowed to universities, suddenly slashed by the NIH? This was a sudden change overnight.

For universities to continue their research projects they will need to pull money from other non-research related budgets to cover the sudden shortfall…i assume this puts even the 100% clinical physician pay at a university, at risk of a cut.
