Good to see you there!

Was at this same intersection last week on my bike and a car ran a red light moments before I pedaled onto this same cross walk. Must be fixed and glad your daughter was spared

Last night, on the corner of Alewife Brook Parkway and Powderhouse Boulevard, my older daughter was struck by a driver.

She was crossing in the crosswalk – with the WALK signal – and the car ran the red light. Miraculously, she was okay and walked away with nothing worse than a bruise.

Nooooo! Love the Q

In our most recent episode we talk with Bill Zamer and Sam Scheiner, two former BIO program officers at the NSF, about the recently proposed 56% budget cut to the NSF.

Restoring Gold Standard Science By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 7301 of title 5, United

tl;dr — this EO co-opts the language of open science to implement a system of political control wherein presidential appointees are given broad latitude to designate any number of reasonable scientific activities and inferences as scientific misconduct, and to penalize those involved accordingly.

Surely an analysis of language use could be done among responses?

Want to know why Republicans are voting on their Big Billionaire Bailout in the middle of the night? MSNBC just reported that it includes a $500 Billion dollar cut to Medicare.

Awesome job, thanks for sharing stories about the tangible benefits of research

Done!

Go to the link if you don’t want your NSF or NIH program officers who took an oath to the constitution (not a political party) to instead be subject to the whims of a president and fired if they don’t “conform”.

Rescinding the Definition of “Harm” Under the Endangered Species Act The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) (collectively referred to as the Services or we) are proposing to rescind the regulatory definition of "harm" ...

Two days remain to comment on the US FWS and NMFS rule change that undermines the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This proposal rescinds the definition of “harm,” limiting protections to actions that directly injure or kill listed species, leaving their habitats vulnerable. Please submit comments! 🧪

I know NIH is ~5x bigger than NSF but I think the gutting of NSF is getting a lot less than 1/5 the attention— in the news media and in higher ed— compared with what's happened to NIH.

Thread with an email being sent to @asn-amnat.bsky.social @sse-evolution.bsky.social @systbiol.bsky.social members today calling for a Tri-society week of action for NSF:

Dear members:
The tri-societies (ASN, SSE,SSB) are running a ‘Week of Action for NSF’. Your engagement is crucial.

Action Alert: Ask Your U.S. Representative to Support Investment in NSF President Trump has proposed to slash the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) budget by more than half to $4 billion in fiscal year (FY) 2026. Congress has just begun debating FY 2026 funding levels f...

Action Alert: Ask Your U.S. Representative to Support Investment in NSF www.congressweb.com/AIBS/3?frame...

I participated in @aibsbiology.bsky.social congressional visits day last week and I have hope for bipartisan support for science. But we need everyone who supports science to call/meet their reps and senators and ask for 9.9 billion for NSF and 7.5 billion for NOAA.

You Need Science. Science Needs You. Supporters of science across America are uniting with one voice to send this very simple message to our elected officials: You need science. Science needs you. #ScienceMatters

Science is not a switch that can be flipped on or off. If we do not act now to alter our current trajectory it will undermine our prosperity, our democracy, and our children’s futures for decades to come. You need science. Science needs you. SaveScienceNow.org #ScienceMatters

SaveNSF is a coalition of concerned scientists and allies who are working to save funding for scientific grants through the NSF.
