Gestern Abend haben in Budapest übrigens rund 15.000 Menschen gegen die Viktor Orbán und dessen Partei protestiert. "Ich bin hier, weil ich Angst habe", sagte mir eine 18-Jährige. Und wie wichtig es ihr ist, dass Reporter aus anderen Ländern da sind, um darüber zu berichten. THREAD

A postdoc in my lab with a MOSAIC K99 was notified today that the program was terminated, no new funds to be awarded after this year. To revoke the pathway to independence award is so demoralizing for an early career researcher. I thought this might be coming but it still sucks.

Hey MOSAIC researchers and F31 Diversity fellowship recipients - I think we should band together and sue the federal government for discrimination and other laws that were violated. Thoughts? Any law firms willing to help us out?

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk responds, something we hopefully see a lot more of that from other European leaders. It's never been clearer than in this moment that Trump is Putin's ally, not Europe's.
