Federal employees crowdsource resources to support each other during shutdown Several nonprofits and state and local governments are offering assistance to civil servants due to the lapse in federal funding.

The federal workers who take care of our veterans, inspect our food, and help people through natural disasters know Trump’s lawlessness is hurting everyday Americans and they are begging Congress to stop it.

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Sharing stories matters. If you’ve faced grant terminations, funding delays, loss of research jobs, etc., your voice is needed. Help show the real impact of NIH funding interference - tell your story so we don’t lose innovation, cures, and hope for the future. www.27unihted.org/biohealthbeats

Hey all! Welcome to our new followers. Here’s a short intro!

In the last month we’ve also launched a story telling platform “Biomedical beats” for folks experiencing NIH grant interruptions! And we’ve got more coming up, so be on the lookout 👀

Anyone remember when RFK lied to CONGRESS that he wouldn’t cut any “working scientists?”

Yeah… I’m sure.

Read more about his lies and terrible decisions here: www.standupforscience.net/blog/9-worst...

Here is the video from the Clinical Center patient in a different format.

Thanks for @carolynyjohnson.bsky.social for covering this story.

Pause in programming this week! Keep an eye out for our new initiatives coming up! Will be announcing a lot this week ❤️❤️ see you soon

How to be "pro-science."
Fire thousands of scientists
Stop funding peer-reviewed and Council-approved grants
Destroy universities
Allow a brain drain
Promote quackery
Undermine trust in vaccines
Re-write climate reports
Destroy data-gathering satellites
Villianize public health workers

To summarize the last 8 months as “transition stuff” is absurd.

I’ve seen a lot of transitions. None prior halted all Council & review meetings, terminated grants midstream, fired Scientific Advisors without cause, or blanket terminated staff with no regard for their criticality to the mission.

This is the right-wing playbook applied to public health.

Break government programs—> “government doesn’t work.”

Bhattacharya has spent years working to undermine public health (including vaccines) in the service of the corporate interests the dark money groups boosting him represent.

‘A whole body of health-equity research is being disappeared’ — why I resigned from the NIH As federal support vanishes for research addressing the root causes of health disparities in the United States, we are left with a dangerous void and an urgent need to rethink science funding.

Essential reading to understand what is happening at the NIH

a girl is smiling with the words yesterday was thursday behind her Alt: Rebecca Black, of "Friday" infamy, is smiling with the words yesterday was Thursday behind her. As we post this, we know yesterday wasn't Thursday. But it's one of those weeks where you can't remember what day it is... it's Tuesday today, though. Right? ...right????

Reminder that today is Tuesday (bc we definitely had to double-check that today) and tomorrow is... WEDNESDAY! And that means...

Wear 💚💚greeeeeeeen 💚💚 tomorrow! To work, to school, running errands, whatever. To show solidarity and readiness to defend public health, please wear green on Wednesday!

This administration is replacing science with propaganda.

Thanks @nihvigils.bsky.social for hosting a vigil every Saturday mourning the losses occurring at NIH and discussing week to week occurrences! Today was great!

Hey! We’re 27 uNIHted, a group of former NIH workers and community allies fighting for NIH’s mission and supporting the former and current NIH workforce. We’re new here! Wanna help out ? Fill out our volunteer interest form, link in our bio! Excited to make our blusky debut!

@catsonacouch.bsky.social spotted at a Bethesda Declaration Rally today! (Not my sign - full credit to whomever made it!)

I applaud you and all your fellow musicians who can play the guitar. I tried and failed miserably in high school lol

This Monday, Bethesda Declaration Signers meet with the NIH Director to discuss policies that are preventing the NIH from delivering on its mission.

Join NIHers afterward, in the famous Bethesda, MD, the city known first and foremost as the site of this fine Declaration.

RSVP in thread.

Anyone who sees this, please spread the word! Any and all support would be appreciated and welcomed! We would love a large crowd from the community to help support our Bethesda Declaration signers!
