LGBTQ federal workers say they're terrified they're about to be fired for their gender identity, sexual orientation, or past efforts to support other queer and trans employees—in other words, a second Lavender Scare. Honored to have their trust with this story: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Another assault on US competitiveness at a time when biomedicine is roaring with innovation, an own-goal in a high-stakes international tournament. Of course the real losers are American people needing medicines and cures. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

American research universities have been global leaders, driving incredible innovation and economic competitiveness. Trump, if not stopped and held accountable, will destroy this engine of innovation, very quickly. It takes moments to break this, it may take generations to rebuild it.

(1/2) To be clear, performing gonadectomies on mice to study gender-affirming care is not a “painful and deadly transgender experiment” or “surgically mutilating animal genitals.” www.foxnews.com/politics/10m...

Yes, this is the lab that hosts “drag and tag,” shark tagging research with drag queens that raises money for Florida LGBTQ youth. We could sure use your support, and you get an amazing adventure out of it! www.scientificamerican.com/article/drag...

Somewhere in the U.S., there’s a scientist staring at their NSF/NIH grant application wondering why they bother. This post is for you. Science and society both need you. Hang in there and know there is a whole community supporting you.

Imagine that you made $40k/year, but your employer said it spent an additional $30k on your job in the form of training and facilities costs, so the government taxed you on an income of $70k. That is the situation graduate student workers face under this proposal.

The thing that’s most striking about this is that they set up an e-mail account specifically for people to report on each other for any attempt to implement “DEIA or similar ideologies” and threatened “adverse consequences” for NOT reporting.

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

At 4 p.m. today, the House will be holding a floor vote on a Defense budget that would withhold health care from military families with transgender youth. If passed, it would be the first new anti-LGBTQ restriction to pass through Congress since the 1990s. Please tell your rep to vote against it.

“Even a temporary pause in research on any particular topic could have long-term consequences, [by] discouraging new researchers from entering certain fields” This is already happening in infectious disease R&D in biotech and pharma, which are justifiably averse to macro risks. 1/4
