Thank you for the work you and your team have done. This is unthinkable, and horrifying. Are there ways that your work needs support besides calling representatives/political actions?

Our team just had an NIH grant terminated. The reason?

“Transgender issues: Research programs based on gender identity are often unscientific,
have little identifiable return on investment, and do nothing to enhance the health of many
Americans….”

Letter: Cutting climate-related funding will harm Maine "Without the data to drive informed policy and decision-making, we leave our coasts and communities vulnerable."

I wrote a letter to the editor about the risks of cutting federal climate-related science funding. I've found myself writing quite a few over the last few weeks, but this is the first one that's been published. If I can do it, so can you!

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

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.

How to Keep Tabs on ICE Agents Who May Be Surveilling Your Neighborhood Here’s a step-by-step guide.

This is really good. A lot of you will be looking for something tangible you can do to protect those who are targeted by state kidnappers. I really like the idea of neighborhood ICE watches.
