The administration’s attacks on universities will kill precisely this kind of innovation. The kind that comes from talented people coming to study in the US and building a life and contributing to the economy here. In the future these discoveries will happen elsewhere www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/b...

Misinformation is winning not because it's true, but because it’s loud, emotional, and everywhere. It’s time for science to fight back. Aaron Mertz and I dissect the issue and offer solutions 👇 📖 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #SciComm @sinaiimmuno.bsky.social @aspeninstitute.bsky.social

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc. Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight? scienceimpacts.org H/T to Prathima !

Today was yet another sad day for science. All U-RISE training programs, including the one at SJSU, got stop work orders. We've had a version of this program at SJSU for 30+ yrs. Devastating for the students who got their stipends & tuition pulled w no notice & for the future of science 🧪 1/

This is an understatement. We have already lost our scientific edge. Mass personnel cuts, lost grant support, gutting of pipeline programs, and the uncertainty about the future has already impacted our competitiveness and future generations of scientists. We just don’t see it yet. But we will.

In this interview Schumer says he agrees with Trump’s decision to pull $400 million from Columbia. A university in his own state. And he’s unconcerned about the unlawful arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, one of his constituents. He is a traitor who needs to resign.

OK. What happened today is not great. But take heart! Now we shift to plan B: asking D Senators to shut down Senate business. This is a media relations game. Senators: act like this is a crisis so the public sees that it is a crisis. Many voters are unaware of the damage Trump and Musk are doing.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

KEEP CALLING! It’s working. Anyone can call Schumer BTW. Tell the dems to vote no on the Repub “continuing resolution”. Republicans own the White House, senate, and Congress. If they can’t negotiate a CR, let alone a budget, this is their shutdown. 5calls.org/issue/cr-con...

You can write #Schumer 's staff. Tell them that if Dems let the Trump-Musk budget through and betray the federal workers who have told us shutdown is better than the DOGE reign of terror, you will organize, not just primary opponents, but an immediate leadership challenge.

📌BREAKING: Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer just announced that he plans to vote to advance a government funding bill, which is a green light for Musk/Trump to continue terrorizing Americans. 📌I am calling for him to step down immediately. He is no damn leader.

Chuck Schumer, the top Democrat in the Senate, just caved—again. His support for the Republican CR plan isn’t leadership; it’s surrender. He’s not fighting for the American people. He’s propping up policies that will hurt us.

Schumer advocated for budget CR today, essentially giving White House decision making power on AMERICAS budget. Cutting Medicaid, social security, and SCIENCE would be no problem. Call and email your senator now if think this is a horrible idea, especially if you live in New York www.govtrack.us

Some good-ish news from NIH “Federal Register notices for study sections run by CSR (but not those by ICs) will start being permitted again” As far as I know, the timing for this is not clear, but I will be checking the Federal Register.
