From a source at NIH, some grants may be nixed because the investigator’s bio sketch mentions DEI-related activities, even if the science itself has nothing to do with it.

In case you need some stickers to hand out or attach to things...CERTAINLY not parked Teslas...https://www.teepublic.com/sticker/72192414-dont-buy-a-swasticar-anti-tesla-anti-elon-musk

From our departmental town hall at OHSU this week, word is that admissions will NOT be halted here. Things are scary and money is tight, but training new scientists is CRITICAL, now more than over.

@gvajr77.bsky.social GERALD! <3

This is a quote worthy of framing.

From @philkmills.bsky.social: just black out the BIO part, the illogical ones can go elsewhere. This is a quick and brilliant Sharpie-able fix. In theory. ;)

My lab is currently physically located at a VA hospital because my primary mentor is there and we collaborate. This morning he tells us that he has to share his office because of Trump's new return to work policies, and floor might lose lab space to make room for desk job people. This is dumb.

Hey, Handy People! If you were going to, say, fix an incorrect commercial bathroom sign, what sort of solvents or tools would you recommend having? Bonus if they're easily transportable or concealable because I, uh, have small hands and no pockets! Yeah! Thanks! #HandySky #Theater #StageTechs

I have voted absentee via USPS in every election for roughly twenty years. Including overseas. This wouldn’t be the first time Republicans tried to disenfranchise the military.

Long week. My @royalpdx.bsky.social made hoagies from scratch to be loaded with Italian sausage and peppers. I suppose I can do one more day.

With the craziness going on in the south, I am opening up a few postdoc positions in my lab. Contact me if interested. Those with experience in ethnic-racial marginalized families, peer relationships, EEG, and ILD are especially welcome! Please circulate, thx!!

My friend @swynn.bsky.social is a creator, hip hop artist, a founder of NW Museum of Comic Arts, #Blerd, and badass. He's been unemployed since Nov and unemployment has been a bastard. Every dollar literally helps him survive. Toss a coin, reskeet, please and thank you. <3

I don't know how much lower they can possibly go.

My brain keeps looping "Happy" but it's "Clap along if you feel like *existential screaming*"

I'm supposed to take 14 flight legs between now and the end of April so if we could figure out WTF is happening with air travel that'd be swell.

If you've got an image that you don't have spoons/time to put Alt Text in, write #Alt4Me and someone on that feed may take a few minutes to help you out. It's a kind thing that I've used once or twice when I've been tapped but want to share valuable info. /Alt4Me so this doesn't clog their feed!

On #SNL50 they had a great musical number about how everyone at SNL has anxiety and taking meds is self-care, just as RFK Jr threatens to take away necessary mental health meds from those that need them. Of course, the rich will always have access.

At some point I will learn that the Venn Diagram of buyers who super lowball offers requiring more than one counter and buyers with impossible demands like "make the delivery guy bring my package today" is just a circle and stop selling to them entirely.

You cannot support both the Constitution and Donald Trump. You just can’t support both. You must choose.

Today my friend and brilliant poet Jenni B. Baker would have been 41. My favorite work of hers was "Erasing Infinite," where she made found poetry from pages of "Infinite Jest." We lost her to glioblastoma in 2020. In honor of Jenni: a poem and interview with @pbs.org. www.pbs.org/newshour/art...

It's a feature, not a bug.

Boosting this again because it's a good thing to have in your camera roll or your records for your kids' next doctor's visits...just in case the new Head of Human Services does what all the other nominees are doing and guts all available information necessary to living.

A sadness reprieve, as @benjamindewey.bsky.social would say: my toddler son on a snow day. #PDX #PDXSnow

A moment of joy for #WomeninSTEM. <3

Not that anyone cares but a bunch of senior doj officials resigning over a corrupt instruction to drop a case was what triggered the Nixon impeachment, and in the Trump era it's just the 2pm scandal of a random Thursday and every day now has ~3 such scandals that would have ended any prior admin

In case this disappears from the CDC site in the coming hours: here is the full recommended vaccine schedule for birth to 18 years. Keep kids and your community safe. Alt text supported. @altcdc.bsky.social #vaccines #shots #RFKJr

From the National Weather Service: "Travel is strongly discouraged, unless it is an emergency. If you leave the safety of being indoors, you are putting your life at risk." Be careful tomorrow, #PDX. #PDXWeather

Related to the previous skeet. Washington's got your back to help your documents match who you are. <3

Queer joy. Congratulations, @thejinkx.bsky.social, on living authentically. You're an inspiration and a badass. <3 <3 <3 Article from @them.us: www.them.us/story/jinkx-...
