A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

Another casualty of the dismantling USAID is the "Science Champion Award" is no longer available at the Los Angeles County Science & Engineering fair. One less award to encourage a child to invest in science. Any sciency orgs willing to step in? Even a certificate would be appreciated.

The Los Angeles County Science and Engineering Fair is less than a month away, and US govt disruptions have caused a significant drop in available special awards. If you are with an Org that would like to honor our budding scientists, please LMK.

ATTENTION (PLEASE SHARE) If anyone has or knows of any positions that might be appropriate for the NIH staff members who were terminated, please post the information in this thread. There are lots of talented and accomplished people who may be looking for new opportunities.

I have been talking to the media, Time, Fortune, NBC, etc., to explain how the onslaught on science and NIH will impact the health of all Americans. Everyone knows someone who has cancer, heart disease, or depression. Spread the word about how cutting science impacts all. time.com/7216299/nih-...

Okay, pals. Time for action this month. We're going to do that by funding classrooms that are specifically seeking out Black history books. These classrooms are those that are in historically underfunded communities. These asks are from teachers whose students benefit directly.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

With your help we're slowly climbing out of the red. It looks promising we'll make the park for this years field work season. We're still down $20k and it's just too expensive to be carrying that much debt. We're a 501c3 and you can read what we're onto at ThePolarZoo.org gofund.me/babd9034
