## Caption

Kimberly Peters, currently in treatment for stage four uterine cancer at UC San Diego Health, has one message for leaders in government: Don’t cut science funding.
 
Current and proposed cuts to federal research funding, including from the National Institutes of Health, are putting basic and clinical research at risk and delaying tomorrow’s cures.
 
For patients like Kim, these funding cuts are a matter of life and death. Now, she’s speaking up.

Ensure lifesaving discoveries continue 🔗 in bio to act now
