“The privilege of prosperity is being able to protect people. ❤️”-Scott Galloway

Here Are the Nearly 2,500 Medical Research Grants Canceled or Delayed by Trump - The New York Times

The next time you’re looking for a new recipe to cook, you can ask a scientist. @labculturebites.bsky.social is a new cookbook that combines scientists’ personal stories with their favorite foods.

View from my hike today! Spring in Wisconsin 😍

Did you know @uwmadison.bsky.social is a hotbed of world-changing innovation? From vaccines to clean energy, Badgers are pushing the boundaries. Programs like #WARFAccelerator, #WARFTherapeutics and #WARFVentures are fueling the fire. #WARF100

A strong statement about the importance of NIH on @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy Sunday Morning (Part 1)

“Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.”

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

"We need the whole country to appreciate that by investing in university research and educating the next generation of explorers and innovators, the country has reaped, and will continue to reap, tremendous rewards in new cures, treatments, and inventions, and in new industries, companies, and jobs"

If anyone is looking for a tech my amazing former undergrad Ashley is looking for a position. She’s on 2 publications too.

Breaking News: A federal judge blocked President Trump’s attempt to dismantle the Education Department and ordered officials to reinstate thousands of fired employees.

We are thrilled to release one of the first cookbooks about scientists! Over 120 scientists profiles and recipes including Nobel winner Martin Chalfie and @odedrechavi.bsky.social @labculturebites.bsky.social

“These cuts are the height of self-inflicted harm,”

I hope you are attending Worm2025 in June. Please consider submitting to our awesome Worm Art Show. It is as good as the science. Submissions accepted till June 27, 2025. Started by Ahna Skop @ahnaskop.bsky.social the event continues to enrich our community. genetics-gsa.org/worm-2025/wo...

Highly recommend any TeamLab site @teamlab.bsky.social

“I was starting to think that these worms have a way of bringing out the best in humans—generosity, cooperation, and an unbridled curiosity about life. But these days, the worm people are worried.”

RFK Jr. said multiple times during his house and senate hearings today that no scientists have been fired from federal agencies. Our reporting has shown that hundreds, if not thousands, of scientists have been let go from NIH/CDC/FDA

Absolute terrorists our government. We cease to exist as a democracy.

Xavier has it on point!

It figures. Ugh. 😩

Mochi is already too warm for this spring heat wave with all her fur! Chillin on the floor.

NEWS: I just led 112 of my colleagues in demanding answers from the Trump Administration on their funding freeze of the National Science Foundation. Cutting off NSF funding threatens vital research, stalls innovation, and risks ceding global scientific leadership to China.

Absolutely dumb. Stop the insanity

“To scientists who study it, mRNA is a miracle molecule.”

I just got to play a set list on the UW student radio station tonight. What a fun experience! Here’s my set list: -Glossoli-Sigur Ros -Sunday Bloody Sunday-U2 -San Luis-Gregory Alan Isakov -Olalla-Blanco White -In spite of me-Morphine -Hunger Strike-Temple of the Dog -Cuts you up-Peter Murphy

A few days ago, President Trump issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR, the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country.

The Human Genome Project cost taxpayers $3 Billion. Two decades on, it has generated a staggering return on investment of $1 Trillion, with benefits in medicine, agriculture, energy, the environment, & more. If you want to boost the economy, funding science is one of the best things you could do.

Unlawful grant terminations are harming young scientists and threatening innovation. ASCB joins leaders calling for immediate funding restoration. www.ascb.org/society-news...

Unlawful grant terminations harm young scientists and threaten America's scientific future. FASEB and leading scientific organizations call for the immediate restoration of funding that supports the next generation of researchers. Read more:
