for a week or so during the election Vance was reminded by interviewers that he had once compared his running mate Donald Trump to Hitler. Vance assured us that he had changed his mind - but really seems like he changed his mind about Hitler, not Trump

the tesla protest might objectively be among the most successful in history already just in terms of immediate response, if you consider they forced the world’s most powerful person & its most wealthy to fully degrade themselves like used car salesmen on live TV while the whole world watched agog.

Two of my people are fleeing the U.S. so I'll be hiring a microbiologist soon. It's a support staff position, not student. Huge + if they have experience working on vector-borne diseases. If that's you or if you know someone, please email me at [email protected]

People are so sweet sometimes. I'm sick and ordered meds. The Dasher called me this morning saying he was at my door, earlier than scheduled because he thought it was likely urgent if I ordered meds in the middle of the night, and said he didn't want to ring the doorbell in case I was still asleep.

Columbia grad student with a green card and a pregnant US citizen wife, abducted by ICE because of his political organizing, and now his lawyers can't find him. Hey, @schumer.senate.gov. This is your constituent. Bring him back home.

As someone who works on stuff this new administration hates (vulnerable population health), I fear I will never see such scores again. This grant was ND by the way 🫠 Good times lol

Thank you! I, too, am shocked that so many are so quiet as if they think it will protect them from the worst of this. I don't think it will.

This is my “daughter of a Black Panther breakfast program volunteer” coming out but anyone who tells you that you have to be public about all your resistance activity should immediately be under suspicion for being an op, or being under the influence of an op

Almost all grant-review meetings under Trump 2.0 remain suspended at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), preventing the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research from spending much of its US$47 billion annual budget. https://go.nature.com/4gM6oW4

You know things are bad when a patient you helped reaches out to ask if they can donate a bit of money to help with the incoming loss of grant funding. People are now feeling they need to use their savings to do the job of the NIH and keep research going. I'm so sad.

If you are an entomologist affected by these federal terminations or know someone who was, please DM me. I’m working on an advocacy plan and need to start gathering support. As a first step, if you’re a member of the Entomological Society of America, I have a link for you, DM me. #entomology 🧪

And now people have almost forgotten what measles is like and are being very zen about the outbreaks here. As someone who's seen groups of hospitalized measles patients, I can promise you I hate to think about similar scenarios now happening here.

On a WHO call about a rubella and measles outbreak this AM. Had to spend 10 minutes doing introductions for new folks bc former CDC staff (secondees) had all been recalled. So yay, efficiency!

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.
