As I was telling Google to take me to @elsihub.bsky.social Collections, I mistakenly typed "ELSI hug" -- and I think we all sure could use one of those right now!

Didn’t wake up today expecting to feel chills watching CSPAN2. Thank you Senator Booker for inspiring us today! This and the Crawford win in Wisconsin are good motivators to stay engaged and stay active!! 🙌

Hannah is 💯 right, the role of government is NOT to restrict and undermine independent scientific inquiry The trainees are leading the fight, when they have the most to lose

This👇. During grad school I learned a definition of "political" as "regarding the distribution of social goods" - including health, health care, educational opportunities, the ability to access and generate knowledge, etc, i.e. the social goods being taking away from us now. Political ≠ partisan

An NIH grant I’d worked on for over 1.5 years, my first R01-level application as multiple PI, was supposed to be reviewed last Friday but wasn’t. A drop in the bucket of awfulness right now, but it still hurts It’s time to #standupforscience2025 standupforscience2025.org/local-event-...

Good summary here on why slashing NIH indirect costs as announced last Friday guts science research and everything that flows from the institutions that conduct it. I called all 3 of my reps in Congress today on this issue
