So awesome to co-organize Austin’s @standupforscience.bsky.social rally! Proud of whole community voicing their concerns about the recent policy decisions affecting critical science funding, ed and institutions. A lot more work to do but great first step! #sciencenotsilence #scienceforall #austintx

Today's the day Texans and everyone in (& outside!) the US! Come out and support science and share why science (research, education, etc.) is important to you! For me, I want to protect the health of our public and wildlife communities. #standupforscience2025 #sciencenotsilence #scienceforall
