Dorks, it’s time to throw sand in the gears. They want us to stop teaching, we will teach in the streets. They want us to stop our research, we will use archival data. They want to send us back to the dark ages, we will be a light. We will not lay down and take this.

YES to this I'm committed to figuring out how the brain works, for the rest of my life. Nothing, & nobody, is going to take that away from me. However bad things get, I will find a way to make progress, and communicate the importance of science, because this is what I care about most in the world.

One of grants frozen at Cornell: $6.7M (4 yrs) to develop heart pumps for babies born w/ heart defects. It took decades of work to get to point of prepping device for in-human clinical trials. No private company could do this. The cruelty of the Trump administration is heartbreaking. So to speak.

Kristi Noem tried to dodge accountability for her & President Trump’s reckless plan to shut down FEMA. Her problem? I knew she was going to go there. The truth is, there was no partisan discrimination. Just another pretend excuse to end disaster relief when it’s needed most.
