The Weather and Climate Livestream has officially concluded, but our mission continues... Thank you to everyone for tuning in and learning about weather and climate science! Let's #SaveAmericasForecasts together 💯 wclivestream.com/more/

Every scientist should discuss the consequences of the NIH and NSF grant terminations and delays and failure to fund at their home institution at the end of a talk or seminar. Even if a scientist’s own funding is not threatened, I GUARANTEE there is someone at their institution affected.

A few things: 1. Leopards and faces (see Columbia for thorough review). 2. Happy Pride 🙄 3. First it’s DEIA programs and then they are turning over students to ICE. This shit is a slippery slope. www.cnn.com/2025/05/29/u...

“It’s a farce for the administration to pretend that gutting an agency that protects our coastlines from a rising tide of disasters is in the best interests of our economy or national security,” writes Michael Lowry, hurricane specialist & storm surge expert. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/o...

Happy Pride, Dorks! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 We stand up for the LGBTQ+ community. #Standupforscience #summerfightforscience #HappyPride

HAPPY PRIDE 🏳️‍🌈 Under Trump, research using terms like “Trans,” “LGBTQ,” & “Gender identity” is being defunded. These terms reflect real people who deserve science that includes them. Stand with us to protect LGBTQ+ science from political erasure. grant-watch.us/nih-data.html @rcmedphys.bsky.social

Your evergreen reminder that every single action counts and we can save science together ✊🏼❤️

Seriously! Please do this! Write an op ed or letter to the editor in your local paper! It’s easy- I can help! And it can be effective if done en masse!

As someone who unseated a 26-year, 13-term Republican legislator who voted against Medicaid expansion, I can say the hubris of telling your constituents "we're all going to die" when they're concerned about you denying them health insurance and then doubling down by mocking them may just backfire.🧵

This had better be ALL OVER the news for the next 72 hours.

My comments with @politifact.bsky.social www.statesman.com/story/news/p...

Something in the air has shifted. That delicate thing where your college football team comes back from halftime, down, gets the ball first, and scores on the first drive...is happening in science.

Friday PM attempted massacre... of science. The fight is not over. There are things to do. Organize with @standupforscience.bsky.social Get informed: scienceimpacts.org Call your representative & ask: what are they doing to stop the self-destruction of American's innovation economy?

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has expressed deep concern over the health of American children, describing them as the "sickest generation" in US history. 100 years ago, 1 in 3 kids died before reaching the age of 5.

Maha report is „Fools-Gold Standard Science“ Indefensible #StandUpForScience @cdelawalla.bsky.social @carlbergstrom.com @briannosek.bsky.social et al. @standupforscience.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We a LOT of resources for this. Yell in my direction if you need help!

This is what resistance looks like.

The newest budget numbers out of NSF are... not good. We're looking at worse than worst case scenarios for U.S. research universities. That's in addition to all the other attacks. Every person w/ a word processer and an hour of time should be penning an op-ed to their local papers this weekend.

Toddler and mama approved.

This proposed budget is a policy statement, not an appropriation. There are still a lot of steps and potential changes ahead before it becomes one. This is not a time to sit quietly, team. Let's go.

Got called a “delusional broad” on tiktok and I think I’ve gotta put that in my bio now 🤣

Doctors at the CDC say children should receive Covid vaccines. A disgraced ex-environmental lawyer who spent 20 years abusing heroin says they shouldn't. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Please sign this petition to keep space science in the US from being utterly destroyed. The petition is open to anyone, worldwide. This affects everyone. www.planetary.org/advocacy-act...

Scientists, I am asking us to do something that goes against our nature: Step away from fine-grained, nuanced arguments. Zoom WAY out. Share the big picture. Don’t soften the seriousness of this moment with “xxx may be ok in xxx circumstances” talk. It’s uncomfortable AND necessary.

ASSIGNMENT: COMMENT ON SCHEDULE F 1 week left to comment about Schedule F, potentially making NIH institute and center director essentially political appointees. www.regulations.gov/commenton/OP... 1/n

I urge everyone to read Unbreaking’s new page on everything the govt is doing to destroy & diminish medical research funding. It’s the best thing I’ve read on this topic: @lizneeley.bsky.social & co have such done an incredible job. unbreaking.org/issues/medic...

The moral of the story: The math ain't mathin'. Trump's cuts to science spending will damage our economy, leave hundreds of thousands of people jobless, destroy the discovery pipeline, and most importantly, cost lives. But we are fighting back. Join us: www.standupforscience.net/summer-fight...

Had a nice day painting tiny Jupiters and now I’m all depressed after opening social media. All the proposed budget cuts to NASA & other science institutions are heartbreaking. I will continue to do my best connecting science + art no matter what. But for now, video games & cider 🫠

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

It's Friday Night, which means Trump's weekly science bloodbath. BUT WHY DOES HE DO THIS ON FRIDAY NIGHTS? Simple: He's a coward! Americans overwhelmingly support science! His attack on science is unpopular and he wants to bury it in the news cycle. Not on our watch. #StandUpForScience
