Great job, @rnareylab.bsky.social! Will she be the only @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social writer to use a football metaphor? Time will tell

If you’re a Philly area scientist (or other professional threatened by federal cuts) reach out to me if you’d like to write an op-ed for @phillymag.com about the impact: bpearson at phillymag dot com

New Science Homecoming editorial in a Maryland paper by @spiantado.bsky.social www.thesentinel.com/communities/...

So I did this today: banged out a couple hundred words of a pitch while managing lab, sent it to the opinion page editor at the newspaper my parents still somehow get in print, and got back a "yes" in, I absolutely kid you not, under 15 minutes

Join us! Science Homecoming helps scientists reconnect with communities by writing about the importance of science funding in their hometown newspapers. We’ve mapped every small newspaper in the U.S. and provide resources to get you started. Help science get back home 🧪🔬🧬 🏠 sciencehomecoming.com

Jessica telling her own personal story in science, tying it to the economy, disease, and everyone's lives. What a great approach!

@benhayden.bsky.social and I are in NOLA and have drastically underestimated the power of the Convenience Store Hurricane.

What is the maximum number of hours you have spent on zoom in a given week?

Can somebody get Dick Passingham to migrate over here so that I can make a Neuroanatomy Starter Pack?

A storm 🌪️ is coming to academia, and just describing it won’t be enough. We’re supposed to be protecting knowledge and diversity. What organizes us academics across institutions? Who are our lawyers? Who will fund our side? Here are some resources we have now (but we need MORE ideas and BIGGER):

This app can't be considered a success until one of us gets fired for what we post on here

dudes have all these fantasies about femme fatales setting up honey traps and IRL it's just some lady in her apartment in her sweats texting "oh wow, interesting" until they admit to federal crimes

I think it’s amazing that Cognitive Science gives recent PhDs $10K in UNRESTRICTED CASH…right when folks are broke, exhausted, moving town…and need it most. It’s almost Glushko season! cognitivesciencesociety.org/glushko-diss...
