Jay Bhattacharya lacks integrity, seems to have no moral compass at all, & is classless, clueless, out of his depth, a right wing ideologue, & a MAGA/MAHA bro. His censorship of, & political interference in, US science to push Trump's extreme right wing agenda are grotesque, damaging, & dangerous.

New from The Strain Team: 🎊 Springer Nature Discovers MDPI 🎊 Springer Nature has spawned a copycat journal series called "Discover" mimicking #MDPI journal titles and citation behaviours. We even made a browser game to prove it (see 🔗). Gross! 😀 1/n #ResearchIntegrity #SciPub #AcademicSky

The good thing about science is that it’s true no matter what you believe. The bad thing about deadly diseases is they will affect you and your loved ones no matter your level of trust in science. Restoring public trust does not mean killing medicines even for those who still believe in science.

Parenting kids with serious disabilities often doesn’t come with the usual “growing up” milestones. Today my first “baby,” who moved in with us when he was 10, moved out to an adult group home at age 21. We’re so, so proud of how far he’s come. ❤️😭

BREAKING: We filed a brief in support of Harvard's lawsuit against the Trump administration. It's unconstitutional to freeze Harvard's federal research funding simply because it refused to bend to the president's political agenda.

"We are speaking on behalf of hundreds of NIH staff who are standing up together to say: WE DISSENT. I am so scared about doing this but I am trying to be brave for my kids because it's only gonna get harder to speak up." Thank you to Dr. Jenna Norton and NIH scientists for your courage!

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

Seeing some reactions to this calling it a strongly worded letter. While true in a literal sense that this is a letter, it’s unprecedented—and an escalation of a growing trend of unrest inside NIH. This took bravery. Each of the signers put their career on the line. We should acknowledge that.

The real tragedy of all the pre-MAGA GOP congresspeople and senators staying silent in the midst of one constitutional crisis after another is that they are so terrified of currying disfavor with Trump, so terrified of losing their job, that they are forgetting to DO THEIR JOB!

Scientists at UC Berkeley have filed a lawsuit against the Trump admin, accusing of politically motivated cuts to funding. “I think that if we fight back and we show that our laws still work, it means something to people,” says Sabeeha Merchant, Berkeley professor. zurl.co/xnJgg @tktk.bsky.social

The White House’s sentiment has broad implications beyond public science. According to them, the act of government punishing speech isn’t a 1A violation unless it deprives you of something that is universally and unconditionally guaranteed.

hey don't forget to turn off biometric access to your phone and if you did happen to forget, in an emergency, pressing the power button 5 times on your iphone will lock it & it can't be unlocked again without the passcode even if you were silly & left face ID on 🙂

(Longish thread. Apologies) I have met many inspiring colleagues over the past few months, many of whom are in academic institutions targeted by the current administration, and many others who are about to be (the analogy to the ‘eye of Sauron’ has been invoked many times; gallows humor). 1/

Absolutely no lies detected in what @terrymoranabc.bsky.social tweeted re Stephen Miller. ABC News rapidly losing respect and credibility with their suspension of someone calling it as he sees it, which is what journalists are supposed to do.

Now Hegseth is saying that the active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton are on alert to come in if the National Guard isn’t enough. The U.S. government is ready to unleash our own military on civilians. It is definitely time to be frightened about what is happening here.

Seriously Edward R Murrow would have eviscerated Stephen Miller. The truth is he is a horrible human being and the free press including Terry Moran, should be able to articulate this.

I suppose it’s possible that some (very few) people watched Star Wars and Return of the Jedi and ended up rooting for the masked storm troopers and Emperor Palpatine and his acolytes. And they were all selected for employment into ICE.
