So I think I’m making a permanent migration here — the other website was getting way too Nazi — would appreciate friends and mutuals helping me reconnect with everyone again, if you wouldn’t mind giving this a little share. 💕

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Of the 4000 researchers at NIH, only 20% are tenured. They’re going to fire all the rest as their contracts come up for renewal, absolutely decimating research at the NIH. This is catastrophic, not just for Americans, but for the whole world. www.science.org/content/arti...

We’ve tried to shelter our minds but tonight we’re preparing for the genocide of Science. Entire NIH departments will have no leaders. World renowned Scientists kicked to the curb without cause, & grants will loose their lead investigators. Is this what they want? Chaos? Destruction?

End salmon farming in Macquarie Harbour now. As hundreds of thousands of salmon are dying, the PM is throwing public money at the polluting, tax-avoiding foreign corporations, putting them over Australia's people and wildlife. It has to stop. Add your name: theaus.in/save_the_skate

@unesco.org and @tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social will probably claim they're not in danger, because they like playing pretend for political convenience. But science and the truth will inevitably cut through 🐂 💩 in the end. www.abc.net.au/news/science...

Big Gas is taking the piss. Help us spread the word, and share this. 👇 90% of WA’s gas is exported. Big Gas takes 73% the gas for free. To add insult to injury, these gas exporters have never paid resources tax. Add your name to make them pay their fair share: theaus.in/collect_gas_... #auspol

This stunning palm cockatoo (Probosciger aterrimus macgillivrayi) is just one of the more than 2000 listed threatened species in Australia. Alarmingly, this list continues to grow, rapidly. To learn more about the amazing palm cockatoo and its conservation check out @cnzdenek.bsky.social's work!

Australian governments are failing to conserve biodiversity, meaning their extraordinary values are being lost and global conservation targets will likely fail. The next federal government must do better. My letter with @biodiversityguy.bsky.social in @science.org. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Science is never “value-free”, because scientists are people too. Arguably, climate scientists, ecologists, social scientists, etc have an ethical responsibility to contribute to public discourse on the future of our planet. We should never be “neutral” bystanders. www.nature.com/articles/s44...
