A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

I am considering having a class dedicated to “busting microbiological/molecular biological myths”. Please comment with ideas! Concepts should be things we all are/were told but in reality are more complicated. Example: “Eukarya have their DNA within a separate membrane bound compartment,…

I am a professor at Columbia University. All of the student NIH training grants have been canceled and now there are reports that ALL funding will be frozen. Why are Universities not banding together and speaking out publicly and forcibly about governmental attacks on biomedical research?

Remember when you learned about the N*zi regime and how u thought if you lived in those times, you’d do things differently? That time is right now. People are being disappeared. It’s been happening, but now it’s boldfaced. Stopping it will require the strong hearts to come to the front.

Everyone: it’s more important now than ever to GET LOUD. Do not let them intimidate you. Do not let them discourage you. Do not let them silence you. The time to raise your voice is here. If you do not, you will not have the chance to do so very soon. We are at a pivotal crossroad. Raise. Hell.

“The result is going to be the systematic removal of women and people of color from the act of research. At the end of this, we’re going to end up with an academy that is more white, more wealthy, more male, more cisgender, and it’s going to reinforce the same problem.”

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

These are bold and wild allegations from the FBI, which is moving to criminalize organizations like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the EPA. In a court filing, Citibank disclosed that it had been directed by the FBI to freeze the bank accounts of these groups.

I know plenty of scientists are willing to throw equity under the bus to get and stay funded. I KNOW THEY ARE. But know this: we have a poorer version of science, a weaker pathway to innovation, an incomplete development of health benefits that benefit ALL Americans, if we take this path.
