BREAKING: The NIH summer internship program (SIP) has been officially cancelled, across all institutes. It’s a sad loss for the brightest science students in America, for American science, and for future cures for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. 🧪 1/

Study meetings cancelled right and left, no reason given—shall scientists retrain to be more aligned with non-woke professions, like producers on reality tv shows? Stupidest Cultural Revolution…

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

A friend was admitted to a PhD in engineering there this year —another woman in STEM thwarted by aggressively stupid, chaotic men in DC who don’t like a world that empowers people like her. Are they actively trying to destroy the Academy for this exact reason? Yes. www.wesa.fm/health-scien...

Wherein the US goes through a messy divorce with its own brain. Divorce lawyers call this “bleeding the opposing party dry.”

Biologists on biology: “The biology of sex and gender makes it very clear,” Lents says. “These are not hard categories with clear definitions.” Yep. www.sciencenews.org/article/biol...

FYI people, these hyper-litigious thin-skinned wastrels burn through public resources at a far greater rate than scientific grants. In case you’re wondering where to shove that “refund” DOGE is (never) going to give you.

Measles outbreak in west Texas doubles in 3 days to 48 infected. 13 are hospitalized, which is a hospitalization rate of 27%--an astounding number, epidemiologist pals tell me. They say it'll keep spreading through the unvaxxed kids there, of whom there are plenty, esp. in private religious schools.

Today’s the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Which is… every damn day. Women have never been secondary to science! So celebrate today—that way, someday, it’ll be weird to even say it. @unesco.org

Sure, I’ll say it once more. Calling Musk and DOGE a cost-cutting team is like saying a guillotine is a “weight loss device.”

I have a daughter and a son. Their bodies are different. Hope we can keep funding basic research in the US so their medical care will reflect that.

First they came for trans people, and I did not speak out- because I avoid 'identity politics'. Then they came for the Palestinians - but I don't do 'purity politics'. Then they came for everyone but me - but I was waiting for the midterms. Then they came for me- and I was quite shocked tbh.

What’s up Thursday? This is a coup. Why do we think the US is immune? We literally train folk from elsewhere how to do it. We house scholars writing actual dissertations on this. It doesn’t have to be the military to be a coup.
