How can anyone see this as anything but an abuse of power?

"I am an NIH-funded biomedical scientist with conservative leanings. I know at least a dozen scientists who voted for Trump, largely because of frustrations with DEl and extreme wokeness that had permeated every aspect of University life. Each of us deeply regrets their vote..." More in thread- 1/

What an honor to be included among brilliant scientists presenting a symposium on fathers and fatherhood from molecules to modern families at #AABA2025. Highlight the amazing Sarah Hrdy as our discussant! @baleslab.bsky.social @stecot.bsky.social

Grocery prices are soaring. Housing costs are skyrocketing. Retirement savings are plummeting. But Donald Trump thought today would be a good day to play car salesman.

So according to Trump it’s illegal to boycott Tesla?! He really does think he’s a king.

It was an absolute honor to participate in a panel with Drs. Lauren O’Connell and Lee Gettler in a cross disciplinary talk about fatherhood at Yale University. Thank you Dr. Eduardo Fernandez-duque for organizing this inspirational meeting!

The @standupforscience.bsky.social DC rally is on. What we are hearing from around the country: "this is big!" "biggest rally I have seen around here in years and years" The public cares about medical research--and students, GenZ, and other people too are ready to stand up.

I hope it passes!!

Imagine watching that sermon and thinking it was "nasty." We elected a man who thinks mercy has no place in a house of worship. God help us.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Indeed it is!
