My daughter's daycare just sent out an email about potentially needing to layoff staff because new babies about to start withdrew because of parental job losses. So if you're wondering how government layoffs and mass contract cancellations will affect the economy, here's an example

Today, more than 10,000 people across the United States and beyond Stood Up for Science. I feel deeply humbled, inspired, and energized—our work is far from over, but witnessing so many people unite to champion science and the hope it brings is truly incredible.

This is not considered an attractive message on International Women’s Day because they expect professional women to say things like work hard to break glass ceilings & work-life balance etc but I say just LOOK AFTER YOURSELF. That’s the essence of what I’ve learned. And.. you know.. it’s not easy!

Let's debunk this whole "space is hard" mantra. Looking at all NASA-led missions launched since 2000, only 4 out of ~60 missions experienced total failures. Two of these were due to issues with the commercial launch vehicle, & two were spacecraft issues. That is a *93% success rate.* (1/n)

Kamala Harris warned us that Trump was going to do all the things that he's now doing. But she wasn't likable enough when she did it.

You can call his office at (916) 445-2841 and select the option to speak to a representative, then hit 3 to leave a message without actually having to speak to a human being. I highly encourage it.

Baby formula, flu shots, smart phones, gps. All of these are things that were funded by the US government scientific research. They are in our everyday life. These are the type of inventions that are under threat by the current administration’s attack on science. @standupforscience.bsky.social

Everybody (me included) is getting bogged down on the details of events at NIH et al. Fatal mistake. The big picture is Musk/Trump are trying to shut down all gov-funded Medical/Disease research in the US. Have to understand that to have any hope of stopping it. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/act-now

In 1943 the US government made an antifascist film called "Don't Be a Sucker" in which we see a college professor in Germany removed from his classroom by government officials who do not approve of what he's teaching about race. youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4?...

What would it take for us to step back from the brink of losing a functional democracy? One step is court orders. Today, a small piece of good news for NIH. Another step is large-scale protest. Today I describe how these two components fit together: samwang.substack.com/p/for-us-sci...

Join me and thousands of faculty, students, and staff across the country at the #StandUpForScience rally tomorrow. Indications are that this demonstration will be large and could make a real difference (see thread below on why). Your career, your health, and your democracy depend on it.

University of California system postdocs cost ~25%-30% of what Altman is proposing, and that wage was considered groundbreaking when it was bargained in 2022.
