Dr. Francis Collins Steps Down from NIH, Advocates for Workers' Respect

Dr. Francis Collins, a prominent geneticist and the former director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has announced his retirement from the agency after a distinguished career spanning over a decade. In his farewell message, Collins emphasized the importance of showing "respect" for the dedicated workers at NIH, who have faced numerous challenges in recent years.

Collins, who played a pivotal role in the Human Genome Project and has been a key figure in advancing medical research, expressed concern for the morale and well-being of NIH employees. He highlighted the pressures they have endured, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has tested the resilience of the scientific community.

As he steps away from his leadership role, Collins leaves behind a legacy of innovation and commitment to public health. His call for respect underscores the need for support and recognition of the hard work that goes into scientific research and public health initiatives.
