It's #Halloween, a time to enjoy treats & a trick or two. #DYK Halloween spending is expected to reach $11.6B, more than the annual budgets for the National Science Foundation (NSF) and Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) combined. We can afford to make science and technology a higher national priority! Mary discusses this, the upcoming elections, and much more in her letter this week:

About us
The Research!America alliance advocates for science, discovery, and innovation to achieve better health for all. We urge Congress and the administration to increase funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and National Science Foundation (NSF) at levels that keep pace with scientific opportunity. We also advocate for federal funding for global health research and a legislative and regulatory climate that stimulates growth in private sector research and development.
