If you’re in Pittsburgh today, make your voice heard at the Stand Up For Science rally for democracy and science this afternoon.

If you’ve been following recent news about University of Minnesota public health researcher Dr. Rachel Hardeman harming junior scholars and plagiarizing their work, Hardeman’s ex-colleague, (my wife) Dr. Sirry Alang @profalang.bsky.social, made a statement.
