NIH Pulls Plug on Major Women’s Health Study

The NIH is cutting funding for the Women’s Health Initiative—the massive study that’s been tracking postmenopausal women’s health for 30 years. This means less research on aging, disease prevention, and treatments for millions of women. Scientists are freaking out, saying it’s a huge loss for women’s health and for young researchers. Plus, 42,000 women in the study might lose their connection to researchers. Feels like a major step backward for women’s health! #WomensHealth #NIH #ResearchMatters #ScienceNews #HealthEquity #Health
