Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand was at Trudeau Institute Monday to tout a $2.5 million appropriation she’s pushing for on the institute’s behalf. This comes at a time when she says the Donald Trump administration is “undermining” public health infrastructure. According to the Adirondack Daily Enterprise, the Saranac Lake-based private, independent nonprofit is one of just a few New York research facilities with Biosafety Level 3 capabilities. Gillibrand said it plays a key role in the domestic response to emerging and re-emerging bio-threats.
