I am curious what everyone else is focusing on or supporting in research and why.

For myself, I’ve been donating to the SENS Foundation for the past few years because they focus on research for age-related diseases. Though they did unfortunately run into a controversy with one of their higher ups a bit ago, he’s since been kicked out but still leaves a pretty sour taste in my mouth… I still believe that their research is worthwhile though.

    My donations lately have been focused a lot on the LGBT community. Things like lambda legal, local LGBT advocacy groups, and community health efforts. While discrimination from society as a whole and the health system in particular have been leading to worse health outcomes for, well since forever basically, this recent backsliding, especially rampant hate towards Trans individuals and laws preventing them from getting health care has been especially worrying for me.

    I support the Children’s Miracle Network & the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation when I can. But I’m focusing on studying immunology to try & increase our understanding of the topic.
