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 🧪👩‍🔬

Love to see the Guardian state outright that continuing to block posting to the Federal Register is in violation of court orders. So who are we holding in contempt here? If there isn't another move to force compliance then what good is our legal system? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

🚨PA colleagues: "Senator Fetterman wants to hear from you about how the federal funding freeze is affecting Pennsylvania." "If your project has been impacted, please fill out our constituent impact form:" forms.office.com/g/mFv2JAPxpC Get out your Other Support and share that info!

I’m beginning to sound like a broken record, but the Federal Register block is intentionally being used to stop NIH from awarding grants. They might not call it a freeze, but things are effectively frozen. We need legal action ASAP.

Diversity is our greatest asset, even if the government disagrees… They not like us! POC in STEM are here to stay. They tried to rig the game but you can’t fake influence! Mustard on the [Be][At] bro. Happy Black History Month!

In honor of Black History Month, we want to highlight a few of the outstanding Black neuroscientists we have interviewed! Now, more than ever, it is critical to strive for and celebrate DEI efforts in research & education—science is stronger when all voices are heard 💜 #BlackHistoryMonth

BREAKING NEWS: CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed. Goes beyond MMWR +other CDC pubs. Applies to research already submitted to top medical journals. Take a look. open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

thinking this morning about how the NIH's definition of diversity also includes uplifting struggling Americans of all races and genders (formerly homeless, on WIC, foster kids, first-gen students, rural Americans, etc)

As we watch all mention of diversity actively get scrubbed from the NIH website in real time it's important to know that, we were not taking over anything, we were just trying to exist. - Only 2% of NIH R01 grants are awarded to Black investigators. The goal is total erasure/elimination.

Call your Democratic Senators tomorrow and tell them to put down their work on nominations until OMB withdraws its power grab on appropriations. No more nomines go through. None.

The NIH diversity supplement pages have all been pulled down. What is a diversity supplement and why should the public care? A diversity supplement is funding to help diversify the research workforce. You may be wondering, “so what?”. Let me explain. www.nigms.nih.gov/Pages/PageNo...

Quitting the news at the beginning of the week and not checking social media until now really helped the overall quality of my day today.

I get this, but also see so many kids coming out of undergrad with no real idea what they want to do and this gives them time to figure it out. It’s one thing to lose salary and another to drop out of the career later because you realize it’s not what you are looking for.

Was genuinely shocked by the widespread ableism that further extended into the comments (I know, don’t ever read the comments). www.nytimes.com/2024/12/25/y...
