Mass murderer. (gift link)

You wouldn’t say that someone was a gravity skeptic. You’d just say they were wrong. Vaccines work. Period. That is a verifiable fact.

This is absolutely true in my experience! Also I find that genetic determinism is a problematic concept that AP students need to unlearn

A child dies of malnutrition every 15 seconds, as close to 200 THOUSAND boxes of special food specifically for starving children sit idle in Rhode Island due to Trump’s funding and aid cuts. They are spending significantly MORE taxpayer money to do this than to just distribute the food.

Trump Declares War on the Birds and the Bees No, not those birds and bees, ya randy bastids! During the 2024 election, I repeatedly POASTED something along the lines of "If Trump wins, he will break things that most people didn't even know could be broken." With that as prelude, I give you the…

Bill Cassidy violates his Hippocratic Oath supporting Kennedy. RFK is doing a LOT of harm to people in US & globally. Today's ACIP meeting gave platform to yet more pseudoscience despite the excellent, science-based presentations of CDC staff. CALL Bill's office! www.lapress.com/resources/me...

The best analogy I've seen about the damage being done to science right now in the USA. Call your reps. Use 5calls dot org to find their numbers and some helpful scripts to convey your thoughts if you don't know what to say.

YEAH!!!!!! GOOD NIH NEWS!!!!! Let's hope that it keeps on doing the right thing!

So important! Please contact your Republican senators, especially Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL), and Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA). 🙏 amplify!

"[A] sleeper issue is the proposed 40 percent cut to the National Institutes of Health, in the White House’s proposed budget for the next fiscal year." Perhaps injecting some economic impact data may help awaken what should not be a sleeper issue... @prospect.org scienceimpacts.org/fy26

Two things to keep in mind tonight: 1) Cuomo is an arrogant asshole. 2) NYC voters aren’t stupid.

Pausing heart disease research in this country while trying to get people to eat beef tallow is a hell or a combo

Watch the latest Congressional Neuroscience Caucus briefing spotlighting how the NIH BRAIN Initiative is transforming our understanding of addiction and brain-related illnesses. @americanbrainco.bsky.social #neuroscience #neurosociety #neuroethics #mentalhealth #brainhealth

This is *essential* viewing.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

We are screwed in the USA, for so many reasons......

See the most perfect peony from my garden. There exists beauty all around us. Enjoy a moment of peace. THEN USA people!!! Call your reps!!!!! Numbers and suggested scripts can be found at 5calls.org. Hold the president and Congress accountable for your issue of choice. Make your voice heard!

The war in Iran is illegal under the UN Charter, under War Powers Act, and didn't even comply with National Security Act.

Go to 5 calls dot org, find your reps phone numbers and bombard them with calls to stop this illegal war!

Large majorities of Americans, including many Republican voters, oppose bombing Iran. They might want to weigh in with both the House and the Senate. US Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121.

The amount of money my company is asking the government for in order to try to find therapies against cancer and other disease Is like 3 hours of B-2 bomber flight time

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

Watching the heroic efforts of scientists and institutions to halt the vandalism of the US administration towards its own assets feels like watching a team of ER staff working on a patient in cardiac arrest. Time is critical. Irreversible damage is accumulating each day.

People are dying and more will die because of this administration.

ZERO cervical cancer cases have been detected in fully vaccinated girls and women since HPV immunisation at age 12-13 started in Scotland in 2008. That's 17 years of proven success. RFK Jr is about to scrap that in the US. 🤦‍♂️😬

Big lawsuit filed today defending NSF. It’s a coalition including @aaup.bsky.social , @uaw.org , and @democracyforward.org . See thread🧪

Richard is a metastatic cancer patient whose life could be saved by a custom cell therapy — one that is currently sitting unused in a freezer because of Trump's NIH cuts.
 Yet another example of the real impacts of the Trump Admin's attacks on science and our federal workforce.

Our effort to try to do something for [cystic fibrosis (CF)] started as a basic science enterprise. That was a hard slog back in the 1980s. Nobody would have supported except NIH. Now, 30 years after that discovery, young people with CF get to plan for retirement instead of an early funeral.

Vanderbilt University Medical Center, one of the largest academic research and hospital care systems in the southeast, expects to lay off 650 employees as a result of grant and other funding cuts made by the Trump Administration, it said in a statement. From @anitawadhwani.bsky.social.

This week, I’ve seen colleagues serve on NIH study section, doing their job diligently, submit papers, mentor students, serve on university committees, be excited about the science at conferences. Despite all the uncertainties and chaos. Don’t know what’s ahead but you can’t break spirits so easily.

I know everything is on fire but PLEASE contact your representatives about the selloff of public lands. It's a heartbreaking proposal that will destroy the soul of America.

BREAKING: Judge denies NSF's 15% indirect rate plan. Like the DOE and NIH attempts, it too has now been rejected by courts. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Today on Trump’s Beautiful Disaster, Senate Republicans read their own bill and realize it will lead to mass hospital closures—and the damage will be largest “in the places that are the worst for hospitals to close.” From @ddayen.bsky.social:
