We are grieving our friend and brilliant colleague Natalia Duque-Wilckens. A creative scientist, artist, caring mentor, and force for change. Words can’t describe the impact she had on lives at UC Davis, MSU, NC State and beyond. I feel lucky to have known her and wish her time didn’t end so soon
This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.
HANDS OFF ✊🏾🇺🇸✊🏾
The scene at the hands off rally in Sacramento
Haha I love how this turned into me being a lead organizer for the @standupforscience.bsky.social Sacramento Rally 🤣😂🤣
Doing research when you’re on the brink of science being abolished #help
Oh my god??????
Ruining studies and potentially harming research subjects...
Abruptly terminating clinical trials...
Ignorant and evil

To terminate grants, administration is using the rationale that the project is not aligned with agency goals - Amanda Miller at the @aaas.org webinar
Removed some well known researchers!
Tracy Bale is one of the most competent neuroscientists, there is a reason why she is the current President of the International Brain Research Organization. Firing her and other neuroscientists from any NIH board is not only unusual and unprecedented but also very intentional. They want chaos.
Welp. It happened. Our NIH training grant was terminated on Friday.
Just highlighting this incredibly derisive language used in our termination notice.
To focus on the positives, see some of the great things our undergraduates have done over the last couple of years: web.uri.edu/esteemed/
@valentina-cs.bsky.social really solidifies my sorrow that our research can potentially be halted and taken from us 😞😞
We got on @cbsnewssacramento.bsky.social with Hunter Sowards to talk about what’s happening to science funding and why it is important: featuring @valentina-cs.bsky.social and @neurani.bsky.social on the cryostat www.youtube.com/watch?v=rf3Z... #neuroskyence
I would like to be added 🤩🤩🤩

Getting the message out on how science funding benefits our society @abepalmer.bsky.social in the SD Tribune www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/03/09/g...
We have to be exhaustive in leveraging every tool available against this hostile administration & their harmful policies impacting our most vulnerable.
We need to organize, mobilize, and match their energy every step of the way.

Science forever!! ❤️❤️❤️
We're using a lab TikTok account to try and get the message out about why science is important. The latest post from @neurani.bsky.social and @g-lia-lcells.bsky.social with footage from Hunter Sowards lab visit www.tiktok.com/t/ZP82fpRCA/
