New paper out in Neuron today with the great @indecisionwins.bsky.social. We call upon neuroscientists of all stripes to work on the neuroscience of misinformation: what makes the brain susceptible, how does it spread, & how can we optimize interventions? 👇 authors.elsevier.com/a/1lG3e3BtfH...

Somewhat oddly, the Trump regime's initial moves to cut science funding went very broad. This is catalyzing solidarity & advocacy around the value of science (see comms featuring cancer cures & tech innovation). But their next move may be to try to drive a wedge b/w "good science" & "bad science".

I am thinking a lot today about how heavy things feel in my world of faculty doing scientific research. There's the immediate chaos and panic about our ability to pay people and continue our research. But there's also a deeper grief at watching everything get bulldozed for no reason

"I will be resigning after this semester from my tenured position at West Point after 13 years on the faculty. I cannot tolerate these changes, which prevent me from doing my job responsibly. I am ashamed to be associated with the academy in its current form." www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/o...

This constant sense of doom is shortening my life. I can feel it. And this was the plan all along. Russell Vought said the goal was to “traumatize” public workers but it was never gonna be limited to them.

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

Every once in a while I think man, we were so close to never having to think about that motherfucker again, and then people said nah, let’s just ruin our lives instead

Friday Night Massacre of accurate information. A devastating day for the USA as tens of millions of dollars of grants seeking to combat the spread of false information were terminated. We have a federal govenrment that does not consider the verifiable truth a priority. www.nsf.gov/updates-on-p...

Make America Great Again by destroying everything that made it the envy of the world and fill it with corruption, pollution, extreme prejudice, infectious disease, financial crisis and fear. I’m sorry Mr President, I can’t get that all on a hat, but the first four words sound great.

Why is Trump going after US science? What's the endgame for these attacks? Vance, Rufo, Trump and Republican elites are attacking NIH and manipulating its grants in order to attack American universities. "It's bad, folks." New contributed post at our blog. Please share it w/ your 🧪 colleagues.

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.

Just before bedtime last night I got a message from inside NIH which read: “It’s so, so bad and no one cares (who has any influence)” I asked “What, in particular?” My friend responded “Everything”

The general vibe we are getting across #NIH institutes is deeply bleak — that the agency is nearly, if not already dead. Top people are leaving or have left. Nearly everyone's looking for other jobs. People still care about what NIH was, but are growing resigned to its death. 1/

It becomes difficult to counter lies with evidence when all the entities that compile and track empirical evidence have been gutted. This assault on knowledge is extending across medicine, science, economics, and the social sciences. This is the most dangerous censorship of all.

Scientists need to face the reality that this is not some temporary funding crisis while a bumbling administration sorts out their priorities. This is an intentional assault on academia by accelerationist extremists who wish to break society. Fascism must be met in the streets.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.
