🚨BREAKING: In a huge win for public health and democracy, a federal court ruled that the NIH’s ideological purge of life-saving research grants is unlawful.

Today, the rule of law prevailed — and science, once again, belongs to everyone.

📢BREAKING: Just left the courthouse for our NIH grant termination case

Judge ruled terminations are “VOID & ILLEGAL”

As a plaintiff, I felt a wave of relief & hope; he acknowledged the discrimination & harm

Closed by asking, ‘Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?’

Now it's nearly 270 university presidents who have signed onto this "unprecedented government overreach" public letter. It was less than 180 this morning.

Universities, and judges, taking the lead in standing up.

NIH cancels its first and largest study centered on women The Women’s Health Initiative has produced numerous influential findings

African Elephants are my favorite land animal species, by far. During yesterday’s earthquake, my babies at the San Diego Zoo reacted to the quake, immediately protective of their most-vulnerable Community members. Humans could learn SO much from these beauties, if we’d just humble ourselves. 🐘🐘

Implications of Abortion Restrictions for Adolescents This cross-sectional study examines the proportion of the adolescent population potentially facing barriers to abortion access owing to 3 types of state restrictions in the US.

In this new study, we estimate that >2/3 of girls ages 13-17 live in states with abortion bans, restrictive gestational limits or parental involvement requirements. That's 7 million teens unable to control their lives and their futures

Fossil fuels generate less than half of US electricity for first month ever, says energy think tank Fossil fuels accounted for less than 50% of the U.S. power mix for the first month on record in March, according to energy think tank Ember on Friday, driven by a near-quarter rise in wind and solar power generation.

my offer to america: we bring woke back

I liked our DEI stock market better!

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

BREAKING: We're suing the National Institutes of Health over their politically-motivated purge of research grants.

This is an unlawful attack on scientific progress that puts lives at risk.

Canada is ready to lead.

Remember this every time you see another headline on the NIH funding cuts.
It will directly impact YOU.
