This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya is now also the temporary head of the CDC, a role in which he is expected to continue to do nothing but appear on right-wing podcasts and further cement the complete lack of respect of his colleagues.

Yesterday I attended the #SciencePolicyAtACrossroads Symposium at @denvermuseumns.bsky.social with Shreya, my fellow SNAPper (@snapcoalition.bsky.social)!! I learned a lot about science policy in CO and met some amazing individuals- grateful to be expanding my network.
& look at that view!!
Come see us at Booth 605 at @aaas.org Conference Feb. 12-14 in #Phoenix, AZ!

New #SciencePolicy in a SNAP is out today! Jan 30 is World #NTDDay, read โThe Intersection of Policy and #Schistosomiasis on Neglected Tropical Disease Dayโ by Becca Blyn and @eselland.bsky.social

World NTD day is also the perfect time for me to have a committee meeting for my dissertation work, so Iโm off to go finish prepping for that ๐

Becca Blyn and I co-wrote a piece for Science Policy in a SNAP (the @snapcoalition.bsky.social awesome blog on Medium). Medium only lets you have 1 โauthorโ which is silly.
Becca and I hope you enjoy, reflect on today, and learn something new!
January 30th is World #NTD day, the perfect time to bring together my research on #schistosomaisis and interest in #sciencepolicy. Read โThe Intersection of Policy and Schistosomiasis on Neglected Tropical Disease Dayโ by Emily Selland on Medium: medium.com/science-poli...

Hello, everyone! SNAP is proud to announce that we've started a blog! Check out our first post on Medium (medium.com/@snapscipolo...) or our website (snapcoalition.org/2026/01/19/s...), and stay tuned for more!
@eselland.bsky.social @kassstem.bsky.social @jolybdenum.bsky.social and Cael Dant
Iโm sharing this video again because people donโt really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there.
I need you to listen to these people.
STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.
We started a blog for @snapcoalition.bsky.social and I was excited to write our introductory post! Check it out on #Medium

Many people feel overwhelmed with the number of potential climate solutions, and are not quite sure what to focus on.
@projectdrawdown.bsky.social has always been at helping people navigate the minefield.
Their new explorer is really cool, and helps to make things clearer: drawdown.org/explorer
