Pretty much did the same thing just now too. What strange times.

Scientists are all around you!

36.8 million workers make up the STEM workforce (24% of the total civilian workforce in the US) in 2021. More than half don't have a Bachelor's degree.

YET 72% of the US can't name a living scientist!

Peeps, share your science!!

You are a legend. Please don't ever stop!

A "spate" of findings. Interesting interpretation!

Exactly. It's clearly meaningless.

It's cheese!! So probably.

I will be watching with interest!

A call for healing and unity | mBio Executive orders signed since 20 January 2025 aim to end programs intended to diversify the scientific workforce via equitable and inclusive practices and processes; cut federal funding for research and innovation; and stifle scientific communications. They represent a stunning reversal of policies that have been the bedrock of the U.S. scientific research enterprise and its leadership in the world, and therefore not surprisingly they have been met with a number of legal challenges. Some of the executive orders have been blocked by temporary restraining orders, and others are pending judicial review.

My editorial simultaneously published in all of @asm.org's journals addresses the ongoing effort by the administration to halt efforts to diversify science. It should be obvious from ASM Journals' efforts over the years, but we aren't fans journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

I was just saying this to my class this week about the literature being skewed towards certain pathogens. Glad there's some evidence to back me up! 😆

U.S. Park Service Strikes Transgender References From Stonewall Website The “T” was removed in references to L.G.B.T.Q.+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights. Later, the Q+ also disappeared.

Erasing our history won't erase us.

Transgender people have always been here — and we always will be.
