Stand Up for Science Education Summer Send Off At this rally, we will stand up for science education and highlight how cuts to funding will impact the pipeline of discovery, education, and training.

During my recent Europe trip, I kept getting asked why we are not in the streets every day protesting. Here is your chance, San Diego. Join us today at noon. I will give brief remarks. See you at UCSD.

Trump Has Cut Science Funding to Its Lowest Level in Decades The lag in funding extends far beyond D.E.I. initiatives, affecting almost every area of science: chemistry, computing, engineering, materials and more.

The National Science Foundation is awarding new grants at the slowest pace in at least 35 years. The funding decreases touch virtually every area of science — extending far beyond the diversity programs that the Trump administration says it wants to cut.

So what about the Jewish international students? Are we helping them feel less discriminated against by kicking them out? Also wonder if there’s an exception for white South Africans 😞😡

So let me get this straight. Hundreds or maybe thousands of international Jewish students are being kicked out of Harvard to protect the Jewish community from Harvard’s antisemitic policies? My heart goes out to all the students affected. Even the uncertainty alone is brutal.

😊😊 yes you do!!

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Congratulations Gabe!! Awesome award & very well deserved!! 💪🏼🥳

Thank you Mayor Wu!! My mother was there in 1965, it was a memory she treasured her whole life ❤️💪🏼

OH

" I said that I would only leave my job in one of threeways: 1) I get fired, a very real possibility; 2) I’m on a collision course with burnout, because I’mnot helpful to anyone if I burn out; 3) I feel that I’m crossing personal moral lines. It turned out to be #3 "

This is incredibly cool: if you search for a condition that’s affected your family, the site returns stats on how much NIH has done for that disease, *and* a contact form for reaching out to tell your Members of Congress why you want to see them defend NIH.

Pass it on!

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992.

Was there a breast cancer epidemic?!

NO.

Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976.

PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something.

This is also about autism.

Published an op-ed for @cnn.com: “Nobel laureate: I owe America my success. Today, its scientific future is in danger.”
A personal reflection on what’s at stake as science funding gets slashed. I’d be grateful if you could amplify both in and beyond the science world.

This is a great message tool. Make it go viral.

This really gets at so many problems right now

75% of US scientists who answered Nature poll consider leaving More than 1,600 readers answered our poll; many said they were looking for jobs in Europe and Canada.

This doesn't look good, folks

Two legal experts who reviewed NIH termination letters shared with the Globe said they violate federal administrative process law, which prohibits “arbitrary and capricious” policy changes. The mass cancellations also violate contract law because the NIH is imposing conditions on research projects that did not exist at the time the grants were awarded, the legal experts said. “These terminations are illegal,” said David Super, a constitutional law expert at Georgetown Law, who reviewed the termination letters at the Globe’s request. “NIH has no authority to cancel these contracts without individualized assessments, and doing so violates court orders against blanket cutoffs of legally obligated federal funding.”

Finally some coverage of NIH grant cancelations that asks lawyers, on the record, "isn't this illegal?" (the answer is "yes")

Stages of CKM syndrome

There are strong connections among cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity, defined as cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome. For the first time, the AHA defines this condition and outlines screening and treatment.

From 2010 to 2016 (latest data I have ), NIH research contributed to EVERY drug approved by the FDA

… AND his son won a Nobel Prize. THANK YOU to you and your dad for all your contributions to our country & the world 💪🏼❤️💙🧡🇺🇸

Phenomenal Jill & team 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

If you don’t get your child vaccinated against measles, it can put them at a high risk of this serious infection, which can lead to severe complications or even death. Make sure your child’s measles vaccination is up to date.

Interesting work @hannahblount.bsky.social thanks for taking on these important questions 👏🏼👏🏼

Right. I agree Stella. So much unknown / unclear / chaotic right now. Yikes is right.
