Trump’s attacks on higher education are driving up the trade deficit thehill.com/opinion/whit...

The federal government froze research grants to Cornell University, which works on 75 Department of Defense grants investigating robotics, superconductors and military safety. #antiscience #troopsafety www.scientificamerican.com/article/trum...

"America Last" policies do THIS: www.statista.com/chart/34246/...

What a fun and inspiring for big ideas… and science. www.instagram.com/p/DG18aoaMWp...

@mammalssuck.bsky.social My 4th block students right now: “Have both competitors ever been eliminated in a single battle in the history of MMM?”

Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025! Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide! #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

In case you may be wondering something like: "So... is this actually a coup?" Yeah. It's a coup. isthisacoup.com

Most congressional democrats have obviously never been hit in the mouth by a bully in grade school and had to figure out a response on their own as a nine year old… rather than fold like a hurt puppy. I have all the pretty words too. No one is listening right now. Be bold. Lead.

Will you all stop with the metaphorical “I won’t ’bend the knee.’” Crap. Use real words if you want to talk to real Americans. Will you ever learn? You won’t do what? What is it you are saying you will not do. No more fluffy language.

It's never good when the richest person in the world and the worst person in the world are the same person.

The tech bros are already actually changing the “Gulf of Mexico” on maps? Man, I’m changing the name of this town to Nashville. It’s a better name. I like it. Don’t reply with “we’ve already got a ‘Nashville.’” Missouri also already has a Versailles. Except they call it “Verr-sails.” Ugh.

We will no longer lead in scientific discovery… beyond what a corporation will pay for to satisfy their near and short term interests. I don’t think you realize what a cataclysmic shift this is for the United States. A real crisis. apple.news/A0u0W-i2pT_u...

The war on science has begun... Imagine wanting to cripple one of the most technologically-advanced nations for the sole purpose of creating a post-truth society. There is HUGE potential for a nationwide brain drain. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Why is Troy Aikman yelling? Always. Relax, my dude.

I’d be curious to know the percentage of folks that thought this way when this was written vs. today……. It seems that many more now see it as a profit center or a threat. #schools #education

Wow. Big surprise: www.science.org/content/arti...

Thank God for books and music and things I can think about. -- Daniel Keyes (Flowers for Algernon)

This is my county in Missouri. We voted for this. It’s not even what I’d call a “progressive” county politically. At all. But apparently, a few dudes can say an election isn’t enough to implement? kmbc.com/article/plat...

I swear… someone near me at the band concert tonight must have been wearing something along the lines of “Eau de Glyphosate.”

Is calculus an addiction that college admissions officers can't shake? hechingerreport.org/proof-points...

Editorial published in Sci. Am: "We are not condemned by a death drive to destroy ourselves; nor is it certain that we will sustain a truth-centered, life-enhancing ethos. But we have the capacity for that ethos, which provides a strong source of hope." www.scientificamerican.com/article/when...

people say “you need to start living in the real world” but they forget that the real world includes lupines and lightning bugs and ginger beer and starlight and sea coasts and Renoir paintings and Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and fog banks and foxes playing in snow.

Huge news for academics and science! Very excited to see that Bluesky is being recognized as THE app to replace what used to be good social media science comms back when Twitter was Twitter

Giving Tuesday? What a concept! If you know anyone who believes this country actually needs more deeply scientifically-literate young people... consider helping out these young scientists. Oh, and help me by passing it on! #STEM #Science #GivingTuesday #FutureScientists
