AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

I think this is plausible: cripple NIH activities, then claw back funding when money is not spent. It's bad for #science, bad for USA. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

Yes. According to reporting, Trump and President Stephen Miller took a 4-year old kid who is ON CHEMO for stage 4 cancer—an American citizen!—kidnapped them, separated them from their parents and doctors, and forced them out of the country. Ppl talk about Trump being on the side of cancer, but…

The protests are not for Trump to see, they are so you can all see each other and grow. It's not the protest itself that tyrants are afraid of, but the networks and community you can grow from them. Your strength is your unity and that's why the enemy thrives by demoralizing and dividing you. #3E

Site-blocking proposals like FADPA are built to fail. They silence lawful content and push users toward risky tools just to access information. Tell Congress: Stop this.

"Good thing we have a president not a king," said a dude in a trump hat at the protest today. If he is allowed to treat laws passed by congress as suggestions and court orders to obey the law as suggestions... then I have some bad news for you, Hoss.

I’ve long used FiveThirtyEight’s interactive “Hack Your Way To Scientific Glory” to illustrate the idea of p-hacking when I teach statistics. But ABC/Disney killed the site earlier this month :( So I made my own with #rstats and Observable and #QuartoPub ! stats.andrewheiss.com/hack-your-way/

By attacking science: We are less safe because science informs national security and medical care. We are less prosperous because science drives innovation and economic benefit. We are less free because science and democracy depend on the liberty to ask questions, and seek and share knowledge.

Appropriate time to bring back my 5th grade winning essay: “Libraries change lives. I should know. Both my parents were poor growing up. But because of libraries, they became successful college professors. With the help of libraries, they found the books they needed, and those books were free.”

I will discuss this issue with anyone who wants objective #s and evidence to understand how academic finances work: why the attacks on NIH are causing irreparable damage to science, will bankrupt hospitals and medical schools, and will ultimately harm our entire country. Ask your Qs below!!

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex condemned ICE’s detainment of Mahmoud Khalil, calling it a “tyrannical” move. “If the federal government can disappear a legal US permanent resident without reason or warrant, then they can disappear US citizens too."

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

This is, in fact, the lesson from the Civil Rights Movement. There were parts of it that were very meticulously planned, long-term strategies (the attack on segregated schools, for example). Other things were very ad hoc, experimental, and opportunistic.

Okay, nerds, buckle in! It's time for some SCIENCE. Back in the late 1960s, a scientist got some government funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Atomic Energy Commission to look for interesting bacteria living in extreme environments. 1/x

🧪🔭Now that PubMed is finally down... 1. I hope PIs realise scientists do NOT exist apart from politics and finally own their responsibility 2. We scientists need to unite to face what's coming EVERYWHERE around the world. I do cringe at the thought of needing United scientists.
