🚨 Public health data disappeared. We’re restoring it. 🚨 RestoredCDC.org preserves unaltered CDC content after key pages were removed or changed without notice. Public data belongs to all of us. 🔗 RestoredCDC.org #PublicHealth #ScienceTransparency #RestoredCDC

Starting 😏 #knitting 🧶

あ〜あ。もうどん底まで特急で行く感じだな。

Post the amazing science things you have done with federal funding.

For anyone having trouble with Pubmed, here’s some explanation and a few alternatives, in that order bsky.app/profile/scoi...

For those of us around the world with looming deadlines & unable to access #Pubmed for many hours, remember there are alternatives. Try searching for papers on #ResearchGate or #GoogleScholar for eg. Hoping this is a temporary situation. Reminded of this just now by my science partner - bless him. 🧪

SAVE THIS PDF 🚨 While it's still available, save a PDF of the CDC's adult vaccine schedule: www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp... It also has ALL the specifications and different types of contingencies (pregnancy, immunocompromised, etc.)!

Well I was mindlessly knitting away and seems I’m almost done here. 👀

Pretty roses. 🌹

So they told us what they were going to do to ALL of us. Here is a tracker on their progress in destroying our country: www.project2025.observer

snow dayで全てキャンセルだったので家でブラブラしてたら熱っぽくなってきた🤒

Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut. This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.

Let this sink in for a minute: Six billionaire families primarily funded Project 2025, the far-right social agenda now ravaging American society. These include the wealthy Coors, Koch, Uihlein, Scaife, Seid, and Bradley families. A few peoples' wealth is diverting the path of our entire culture.

Not feeling so hot about celebrating Presidents' Day today? Same. Luckily, today is also National Random Acts of Kindness Day - that's something we all need more of. If you do something kind today or have a great idea of a RAK to share, bring us some joy by dropping it in the comments below!

Grabbed good indian food for this cold day. Yum @gohanclub.bsky.social

Working on it this afternoon. 🧶 #knitting

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! 🧪 It's hard for me to resist a good insect collection opportunity, here I am taking a break between shrimp pot sets to do some bee collecting for the Alaska Bee Atlas 🐝 #entomology (and in my hand-knit fisherman's Gansey, of course) #knitting

CFPB - closed USAID - closed Medicaid - under attack NIH cancer funding - frozen Department of Education - under attack But do you know who just got a NEW government contract for $38,858,978 literally today? SpaceX — owned by Elon Musk
