Strength in numbers. You don't need to list your affiliation or even your name. For some people, they may have legitimate concerns (e.g. because of immigration status). But for many others, I think it is time to stand up and be counted. In my experience, most people I approach are eager to sign on.

I couldn't sleep last night and skimmed through the names on the #BethesdaDeclaration support letter page. First, the good news. (1) There were 18,000+ names and it took me 3 hours. 1/n

You can only imagine how much fun it was to write… 🥲

Thank you, Carolyn, for all that you have done for science and for NIH over many years!

@carolynbertozzi.bskyverified.social thank you for bringing the joy of great science and steadfast values to the NIH today!

Today, Nobel laureate (and former NIGMS Advisory Council member) gave an NIH-wide lecture. She enthusiastically signed the #BethesdaDeclaration. She was introduced by NIH Director Bhattacharya...(likely slightly awkward) 1/2

After some of Dr. Bhattacharya's comments about trans people and "ideological boondogles", I sent him a copy of Ben Barres's "Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist".

I signed the Bethesda Declaration support letter and please consider signing it as well! Support NIH scientists and staff!!

Thank you @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social for standing up. We all appreciate you and your colleagues for your courage!

Sorry @thevillalab.bsky.social! This rude, almost combatant letter does not say it, but I will: thank you for your service!

That is my experience as well.

😭😭😭

Unfortunately, this rings true. I have also been thinking about the "Cultural Revolution"...

The reviews are in... It did not go well for Dr. Bhattacharya yesterday... thehill.com/homenews/sen...

So good to see this happening. Renewed hope is also partially what NIH is all about.

I'm proud to be standing up with you @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social. Together, we can all help end the disruptions to life-saving biomedical research.

Jenna’s daughter get it…
