Dear scientists at US universities: Trump/Musk continue to freeze your grants. NIH is not reviewing grants nor funding them in council. This is a backhanded, legal method to effectively stop NIH grants. See thread and linked article. Are we going to “keep our heads down” about this?

Today is EO9066 Day of Remembrance. 🇺🇸 This EO ordered the incarceration of Japanese residents. They were citizens and immigrants denied citizenship due to racist laws. Their stories are more important than ever. Take some time to listen to their stories.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

It’s been buried in all the news today, but every scientist in the US should pay attention to this: Mike Lauer went out on a limb for us all, sending out a memo saying institutes should start awarding grants. And it looks like Trump/Musk fired him for that. 🧪

i mean, the president's executive order isn't a goddamn law! as far as this doctor is concerned, who cares what the president says!

Yes. Important for all NIH people and scientists: The executive orders are not law. The President cannot make laws. And in fact, executive orders may violate the law. As a federal employee, you are obligated not to follow illegal orders. That includes illegal EOs.

That “HE GETS US” ad is funded by an extreme right wing org. Using Johnny Cash’s cover of Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus” - a scathing critique of right-wing televangelists preying on the unwary - is a spectacular self-own.

COVID denial to attacks on NIH and universities now: yes, there is a direct line. Jay Bhattacharya is a living instantiation of that line. He's the Trump NIH director nominee because he denied science to help Republicans. And the same billionaires paid for both. 1/

Not only direct, immediate, and profound damage to diverse students who were slotted to diverse F31 mech, this move ensures that the NON-diverse applicants have an extraordinary advantage. Let's note that an F31 is one of the most prestigious things a grad student can put on their CV. Disgusting

Biocentury is a trade pub for pharma. More of this please. Pharma execs probably have more leverage over Trumpers at FDA and NIH than any other group.

I've written for years that we should be more forgiving of old social media posts. Otherwise, we freeze people in the worst versions of themselves. But when the ugly posts are from the last half-year, that's obviously not old news: that's evidence of a person who needs to change!
