Time for a #ScienceMarchOnWashington with star power like Bill Nye. We need leaders like @zekeemanuel.bsky.social petitioning college presidents to go to Congress, and teach-ins by Nobel Laureates to teach students what's happening. Where are the leaders? Repost to help find them 🧪

Individuals bear the costs of speaking out but don't capture the collective benefits for democracy. A classic externality - and one that could doom our system of government.

President Trump campaigned on lowering costs. But he’s letting billionaire Elon Musk and Project 2025 Architect Russ Vought kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. If they succeed, CEOs on Wall Street will once again be free to cheat you out of your savings.

NIH Cuts Back Its Payment Of Indirect Costs For University Research www.forbes.com/sites/michae... 🧪

This is what a cap on “indirect costs” through NIH grants will do. Going from >50% of grant total to 15% will change how your local university healthcare systems function everyday.

This is the kind of simple and direct message we need right now: long-term damage aside, this attack is going to very quickly make it even harder for people to have the jobs and medical care they need.

If you think the proposed cuts to American science are because science is unpopular, this are wrong. DON'T BELIEVE THEM. 1. 76% of Americans express trust in scientists, more than for police officers and school principals (Pew). 2. 80% say federal funding of science is vital to our nation (STAC)

Further interpretation: the Trump administration wants to cede the world’s scientific future to China and, secondarily, to Europe and the rest of Asia.

Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.

The abrupt change represents “a nuclear bomb on university budgets,” says Morgan Polikoff, an education researcher at the University of Southern California. “I mean, listen, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out. They're just trying to hurt universities.” 🧪

The NIH overhead cut doesn't just hurt universities. It's deadly to the US economy. The US is a world leader in tech due to the ecosystem that NIH and NSF propel. It drives innovation for tech transfer, creates a highly-skilled sci/tech workforce, and fosters academic/industry crossfertilization.

The Senate HELP Committee has jurisdiction over NIH. GOP members of the committee represent AK, AL, IN, FL, KS, KY, LA, ME, MO, OH, and SC. Research universities and hospitals in those states need to be extra loud.

Everyone needs to call their Senators and Representatives. Universities are the economic engine for many towns across country. This will destroy many of them who depend on these funds for their operating budgets.

Americans don't understand how much a functional federal government allows their lives to run on autopilot because most have no living memory of anything else and they only learned the surface stories of those the state has long victimized, neglected, or both
