Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

Testimonial quote from 2019 GSMI scholar Aníbal Tornés Blanco: "Applying to graduate school without formal support and getting ten rejections broke my spirit. Thanks to the Cientifico Latino mentorship program, I had a second successful application year and found a growing national community of supportive mentors and brilliant Hispanic STEM students."

Thinking about applying (or re-applying) to STEM graduate programs? We would love to help. 💪

Applications for #CLGSMI are accepted on a ROLLING basis until 5/31! Apply while spots are still open! We support students from all underserved communities. 💕

Stop the SAVE Act The SAVE Act would keep millions of people from being able to vote – and would shut countless eligible voters out of our democracy. Urge Congress to vote no now.

The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would make it much harder for millions of people to register to vote.

Tell your Senator to reject this harmful legislation.

The NIH-funded Haskell-KU Bridges Program was terminated. It was one of the longest running programs of its kind, placing >130 Native American students into STEM labs over the last ~25 years. So many alums spoke of this program as being the entry point to their interest, and later, careers in STEM.

Researchers, ACLU sue over Trump's 'ideological purge' of NIH grants Scientific researchers on Wednesday sued to secure reinstatement of National Institutes of Health grants that funded research on topics like LGBTQ health, COVID-19 and vaccine hesitancy canceled by Republican President Donald Trump's administration as part of an "ideological purge."

Efforts by the National Institutes of Health to shut down research that merely references LGBTQ people or people of color are a direct attack on public health — and illegal.

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.

Trump administration concedes Maryland father from El Salvador was mistakenly deported and sent to mega prison | CNN Politics The Trump administration conceded in a court filing Monday that it mistakenly deported a Maryland father to El Salvador “because of an administrative error” and argued it could not return him because ...

A Maryland father was wrongly deported without due process and is now trapped in a dangerous El Salvador prison, torn from his family.

ICE calls it an "administrative error." We call it a grave injustice.

Trump promised scientific breakthroughs. Researchers say he’s breaking science. NIH funding for biomedical research has abruptly fallen by billions of dollars, with many grant decisions on hold. Trump officials say they’re reviewing the agency.

Cancelling grants due to political ideology has severe public health consequences and hurts us all, particularly for communities that disproportionately experience negative health outcomes.

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.

Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again.

NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.
 
An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

The fact that marginalized scholars and scientists are more likely to be the ones studying topics of gender, LGBTQ+ topics, equity of all sorts...it is just so dark to see already won grants yanked back on these grounds. This is a horrific shame on our science

When I was a kid, I stayed up to watch State of the Union speeches. Never did I imagine I would one day sit in the chamber and watch a President talk about surrendering to Russia and brag about raising prices on families through tariffs. What a stain on the history of our nation.
