🧪The Alzheimer's Disease Research Center program is a crown jewel in the NIA's funding portfolio. 35 centers in red, blue and purple states put data in a single repository working towards a shared goal of curing AD. Funding for center renewals is on hold. tinyurl.com/yc2pr626 #standupforscience2025

Is there a #firedfed bluesky follow list going on anywhere?

I think at this point if you’re not getting censured by congress it’s probably a sign that you’re simply not going hard enough

I love seeing all the #standupforscience pics!!! On my end I’m working with science artists to create illustrated features of scientists affected by the federal budget cuts and mass firings. If that’s you please give us the honor of featuring you! forms.gle/r2qufNqMMgR1...

@sabs.bsky.social hi! I see you’ve been interviewing dismissed Feds and wondering if you’d share this with them? It’s for a series of illustrated portraits to showcase their work.

We already have 9 amazing science illustrators who have volunteered to help create visual portraits of scientists affected by federal budget cuts and mass firings, and 3 portraits currently being illustrated! Please let colleagues know! #sciart #science #research #fedresearch

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Explaining to people outside of the scientific community how the mass firing and lay offs of 1000s of scientists and other federal employees is bad for US citizens is so frustrating, emotionally draining, and it scares me how much people actually believe CNN, FOX, etc. #Chemsky #Scicomm 1/

This is all true. Not written in the most neutral way, but nonetheless all based on facts. And devastatingly ridiculous. And heartbreaking. Read this and understand what we just lost for dementia research. I wasn’t the source. But I’m proud of who was. newrepublic.com/article/1917...

I feel like right now, the world of science in the US needs #sciart and science artists more than ever. Wondering if we could get a SciArt blast going… maybe art that shows the importance of diversity of inclusion, of funding the sciences, of supporting researchers, of creative freedom, of protest…

If you care about science & higher ed in America right now, your world has changed. We have been forced into a battle we didn’t choose. Whatever our titles, our jobs now also includes emergency response, psychological first aid, organizing & many other things we weren’t trained in

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.
