Over 4,000+ signatures already (woohoo!). But not enough. Consider that, for NSF alone, there are ~50,000 active PIs/co-PIs. Not to mention grad students, postdocs, other collaborators. Not to mention NIH, NOAA, EPA, etc. This new EO affects all of science and deserves sharp rebuke.

Dr. Alaa al-Najjar left her 10 children at home when she went to work in the emergency room. Hours later, the bodies of 7 of her children arrived, most of them badly burned. In total, the Israeli military killed 9 of her 10 children by burning them to death. Horrific. www.qasimrashid.com/p/holocaust

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

3 guys, none with infectious disease or pedatric expertise, just ran roughshod over normal procedures to block COVID shots for kids, pregnant people. This is so awful & insane & we should treat it as such. Reporters, you're on notice. Both sides this at your peril & watch your credibitlity evaporate

At LAST I'm reading SOMEone at @europarl.bsky.social say something I've been calling for for YEARS! This is such a major undertaking that the EU should have begun this 20 years ago! How many EU (& national) services rely on US data-scraping tech? This needs an immediate publicly visible strategy.
