That's about what I would have expected, thank you! Looking forward to reading the other questions!

Well, since you said anything...

Is the creation of a spray shark-repellant, as seen in Batman the Movie (1966), scientifically possible?

In all seriousness, are there any odors that sharks will actively avoid? Would be interesting if they've adapted to avoid oil, for example. Thanks!

Open Letter in Support of Science — STAND UP FOR SCIENCE

If you have benefited from science and live in the US, please consider signing @standupforscience.bsky.social open letter regarding the EO issued on May 23rd! www.standupforscience.net/open-letter-...

Let me be very clear - transparent and rigorous science is not possible under the current administration. Part of the "gold standard" of health research is including a diverse study population - biology is not "one size fits all"!

Had a wonderful time discussing everyone's efforts to better our understanding of precancer biology! See you again, Baltimore!

This!

Looking forward to meeting with colleagues over the next few days in Baltimore!

We are excited to announce our official partnership with @indivisible.org for the National Day of Action on April 5th!

Stand Up for Science says: HANDS OFF OUR SCIENCE!

WHEN: Wednesday, March 26, 2025, 2:30pm EST WHERE: SD-106, Livestream available here WHO: U.S. Senators Dr. Monica Bertagnolli, M.D., former Director of the NIH Dr. Sterling Johnson, PhD, University of Wisconsin-Madison Professor and Associate Director of Wisconsin Alzheimer's Disease Research Center Dr. Whitney Wharton, PhD, Emory University Associate Professor and Alzheimer’s Disease researcher Dr. Larry Saltzman, M.D., retired physician living with leukemia and former Executive Research Director for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Mr. Jessy Ybarra, veteran living with ALS and Board of Trustees member for the ALS Association “As Donald Trump and Elon Musk claim they want to ‘Make America Healthy Again,’ they are halting lifesaving research that gives Americans battling Alzheimer’s disease and cancer hope every day that they have a fighting chance at getting better,” said Senator Baldwin.

Roundtable this Wed at the US Senate, on how Trump and Musk are killing research like cancer and Alzheimer’s research.

2:30pm Eastern. There is a livestream.

This would be better in primetime and produced for TV, like the Jan 6 Committee did.
But it’s a good start from @baldwin.senate.gov.

We'd love to hear from you!!!
One of my reasons? Science helps me balance my brain chemistry so I can study how colon cancer interacts with neighboring healthy tissue, and figure out better ways to kill the cancer without hurting the patient! #storeboughtserotonin #mentalhealthmatters #CRCresearch

This is what we mean when we say cutting NIH funding will cost lives. Cancer patients and their families are having the rug pulled from under them.

The original poster had found out that their training grant supporting their dissertation work was rescinded. The reasoning provided was unrelated to their work. I am unsure why the post was deleted.

This is horrifying. Getting a T32 funded in the first place is an incredible achievement!

Congratulations!!! I'll have to give it a read, love learning about what others are doing with spatial!

Did we mention anyone can fill this out? Scientists, Bill Nye the Science Guy fans, Packer fans, Mark Hamill, your nana...the possibilities are endless!

That definitely should have said "community can" - I was falling asleep as I was typing 🤣 Whoops!

Today was truly incredible. In less than a month, rallies were organized at 30+ sites across our country AND abroad. This is just the beginning - we will continue to advocate for everyone who benefits from our research! @standupforscience.bsky.social

Thank you so much for everything you do to help educate the public about science!

#NCI - how is ‘obesity’ controversial in research and now a flagged term? 👇👇👇

"Ask a Scientist" type events where we hang out at our local breweries with science enthusiasts and talk about what we do.
Maybe another thing could be working with our local habitat for humanity branches as volunteers - to have a direct positive impact that the commuycam see?

We had one at our site that said "Make the mice transgender again" and I was dying 🤣

Wisconsin Capitol with close to 1000 people standing on the steps holding signs in favor of scientific research.

What a fantastic #standupforsciencewi event! You could hear the cheering 2 blocks away.
#standupforscience2025

Way to go, Wisconsin! Today we came together to Stand Up for Science and demand that lifesaving research be protected. Tomorrow, we continue working together to #saveourscience

Hit by ‘Gut Punches,’ Scientists Band Together to Protest Trump Stand Up for Science aims to revive a movement that started in 2017, but with an all-new team and a more focused vision.

Kind of speechless. Thank you to @katrinamillerphd.bsky.social for coving our movement so well. @standupforscience.bsky.social @jpflores.bsky.social @samschuelstein.bsky.social @leslie-bern.bsky.social @emmalovesscience.bsky.social

We need a science avengers poster or something after this 👀

This administration is anything but committed to creating a Nation free of cancer. The ongoing funding freeze is causing clinical trials to be stopped, and the attack on diversity, equity, inclusivity, and accessibility has made conducting representative studies impossible.

Madison! Organizers HAVE A PERMIT for this event and will have copies with them the day of!

"The White House can lie all they want about how they're not stopping cancer research," the NIH source said, "but they're stopping cancer research on [NIH's] Bethesda campus."

Can confirm. The many shifting rules and EOs and bans do seem designed to stop cancer research at #NIH.
