Neuron to Something

Since it’s apparently the early 2000’s again, I will be posting song lyrics like Facebook statuses.

“Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor, yeah”

People are standing in front of the Georgia State capitol building holding signs in support of science. The gold dome of the capitol building can be seen shining in the sun in front of a clear blue sky with wispy clouds.

Thank you @standupforscience2025 Atlanta for organizing an amazing rally in support of Science at the Georgia State Capitol!

If anyone is keeping track, I (an American) do not give two shits about whether or not Zelenskyy wears a suit in the Oval Office.

If you are having trouble keeping up with all of the news surrounding science funding cuts (I know I am), @sciencemagazine has a webpage to track Tr*mp’s cuts to science funding: www.science.org/content/arti...

Trump maintains funding freeze at NIH, defying court order The Trump administration is still prohibiting National Institutes of Health (NIH) staff from issuing virtually all grant funding, an NIH official tells Popular Information.

I am looking for additional sources on this, but here is one source that seems to be well written with receipts: popular.info/p/trump-main...

NIH UPDATE: NIH employees are reportedly still being barred from dispersing funds despite two temporary restraining orders (issued on 1/29 and 2/3). This means Tr*mp is continuing to enforce his EO in violation of these court orders.

Happy🫀day.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US and has been since 1950.

In 2023, $2.88 billion in NIH funding went to lifesaving heart disease research.

Without that funding, better treatments or cures will go undiscovered.

Without that funding, more Americans will die.

Canceling data collections could imperil efforts to improve U.S. education, a former Trump appointee warns Ex-head of National Center for Education Statistics describes impact of massive halt to survey research

The sudden cancellation Monday of hundreds of millions of dollars of government contracts to collect information on the state of U.S. education will blind the government to important trends from preschool to college and beyond, according to education researchers angered by the move. scim.ag/3XmVdwj

Trump's Federal Buyout Program Closes After Judge Signs Off: Live Updates

The United States State Department is now planning to spend $400 million in taxpayer money to buy Tesla Cybertrucks.

Without that funding our state suffers. What is #briankemp going to do about Trump’s unconstitutional and overreaching EO’s that are directly impacting GA citizens? (2/2)

Georgia received $780 million in #NIH funding in 2023. This money supported 11,816 jobs for Georgians. The money generated a total of $2.18 billion in economic activity in GA in 2023.

That federal $ pays salaries of Georgians who spend money to stimulate local and state economies. (1/2)

The attached table is from a Washington Post article stating this table was removed from this week’s MMWR along with 2 other studies. (2/2)

There is another avian flu strain that has jumped from birds to dairy cattle. Another species jumping mutation increases likelihood of human infection.

There is also a case of bird flu transmission from cat to human. This was included in this week’s CDC MMWR, but was removed from the report. (1/2)

If I’m being completely honest, I did actually have rooting against my own country in a North American trade war on my 2025 BINGO card.

I’m going to try to keep adding to this. Here are some info resources if you need information while the HHS has been forced to halt communications and data reports.

Thank you for contacting the abyss. Your scream is very important to us.

I’m so overstimulated I’ve stopped understanding what people are saying to me.

Executive orders don’t supersede science.

Access to scientifically accurate information is crucial. This neurodivergent professor will do her best to share information and educate as long as she still spoons left!

In case anyone was wondering whether Trump would serve the working class or the billionaire class, here's a picture that spells it out pretty clearly.

The President signing an executive order that basically says “the official position of the U.S. government is to deny scientific fact” is some prologue-of-a-dystopian-novel level garbage.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

No blastocyst is making reproductive cells “at conception”.

Differentiated gonads aren’t formed until around week 7 gestation.

Egg production doesn’t begin until week 7-8 gestation.

Sperm production doesn’t begin until puberty (age 10-12).

Executive orders don’t make science go away.

I have the Monday scaries today.

Buckle up, y’all. Shit’s bout to get even weirder. 🍊
