it feels like decades since the first Stand auto for Science protests ahead of this year’s protests tomorrow, I caught up with @cdelawalla.bsky.social to talk about what @standupforscience.bsky.social sees as its strategy as a fully formed organization www.statnews.com/2026/03/06/s...

In just 3 days, the Take Back our Science Rally hits the streets in Washington DC and all across the country! Join at local rally, or if nothing's nearby, start your own pop-up rally. Details at zurl.co/BlOzn  #science #standupforscience #rally #March7 #FunScienceFact (1/2)

New Yorkers, let your state senator + legislator know you want to support science research at NYS-level to protect other New Yorkers, grow our economy, and create jobs. *Every call/email matters!* Follow @fundnyscience.bsky.social @nycures.bsky.social for how-to 🔬🥼💲

Heartened to see complementary action @nycures.bsky.social @uawregion9a.bsky.social @spocuaw.bsky.social @rocsuaw.bsky.social driving “bolstering biotech initiative” in NYS for FY26. We need to fight together for rational sustainable research funding given threats/cuts. #science #BBI #NYS

The impact is already hitting science agencies hard. The NIH—the world's largest public biomedical research funder—has had to rely on leftover stopgap funds. New grant awards have slowed to a trickle — exacerbating the effects of a record-long shutdown in October. (h/t @jeremymberg.bsky.social)

Wrapping up #KSMyeloid26, enjoyed @tfabre.bsky.social rigorous + rational approach to classifying and targeting myeloid cells in fibrotic diseases. Look forward eagerly to testing their M.A.C.S approach built on scLAVI @mmschaefer.bsky.social

The fight for American science is real and it requires resources. If you can, please help fuel the fight with a donation at standupforscience.net/donate Thank you! #standupforscience #science #donate #savescience #March7

Excellent short talks now #KSHemato26. First, Sara Tomei @shalinhnaik.bsky.social describing how HaemaTONIC-enabled marker discovery reveals CD200 as a distinguisher for erythroid-biased vs multipotent hu HSCs! V useful as folks design selection strategies clinically. @keystonesymposia.bsky.social

Final day of #KSMyeloid26 ! Really enjoyed @bainlab.bsky.social talk on RTM repopulation dynamics post-infection. Notable, their work underscores that monocyte replenishment of AM niche (clodr) is sufficient (not Ag from prior infection) for protection. "Monocyte legacy, not training !"

Afternoon session full of great talk at #KSMyeloid26. First, Zimmerman lab (Oklahoma) walks us through the complex and surprisingly non-canonical behavior of renal macs, specifically how Trem2hi macs dictate PKD phenotypes. @keystonesymposia.bsky.social

Day 2 at @KeystoneSymp kicked off by @charlottelscott.bsky.social on liver Mac biology in the context of MASLD and HCC progression. Excellent work showing how little we still understand about Kupffer cells, and how fibrosis is uncoupled from KC activation in the liver. #KSHemato26 #KSMyeloid26

Great short talks followed by session on 'Myeloid cells in Tumors'. Started off by @arielmunitz.bsky.social with very cool provocative data of STAT3 signaling driving tumor eosinophil-CD8 T cell interaction in lung mets. #KSMyeloid26

Great kick-off to the conference by @florentginhoux.bsky.social covering diet-dependent regulation of resident tissue macs as well as developmental + functional heterogeneity of tumoral macs ! #KSHemato26 #KSMyeloid26

Now that data is out (which still doesn’t capture the whole picture), can you please stop telling ESI’s, etc. not to worry about grants because there haven’t really been any major changes? Please and thank you.

We are urging legislators to expand state funding for biomedical research and support early career researchers. Get involved: docs.google.com/forms/d/10Yy...

Enroute to Keystone for @keystonesymposia.bsky.social (become a ritual now) on Myeloid cell immunology and Hematopoiesis🩸Excited to meet peers and discuss our latest work on tumor-associated myelopoiesis ! If you’re also attending, come say hi ! 🏔️👨🏾‍🔬 #KSMyeloid26 #KSHemato26 #Immunology #Newlab

"The source of young researchers – the next generation of scientists who are the fount of new ideas and innovation – is being throttled." Great story by @edpilkington.bsky.social on some of the problems early career researchers are facing in the United States.

We are so excited to be taking March 7th, NATIONAL again! Unfortunately, activism costs money and as a new organization that operates on primarily grassroots funding, we need YOUR support! www.standupforscience.net/donate #standupforscience #takebackourscience

One of the best, most articulate, depiction of life in America these days for millions. Very much in the same vein as “the invisible child”, which should tell you how impactful this work will be..

With continued uncertainty over federal government support for biomedical research, PhD students are struggling to find labs willing to take on new students, @jonathanwosen.bsky.social reports. New students are the future of US science. www.statnews.com/2026/01/30/f...

Washington, DC. March 7th, 2026. Rally with us to Take Back Science! 🧪✊🔬💥 The stakes could not be higher: we're facing attacks from an administration hell-bent on dismantling our science and our democracy. We have to stand up and fight back! GET IN, DORKS! www.standupforscience.net/ma...

The US government lost more than 10,000 STEM PhDs last year, according to an analysis by Science of newly released OPM data, with 11 departures for every hire. And many OPM calls "voluntary" separations were probably pushed. www.science.org/content/arti...

It's straight from the fascist playbook to create chaos and then demand unquestioned authority to stop the chaos.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

If you want to support Minnesota today during the general strike, I strongly recommend: standwithminnesota.com Which has a wide variety of causes you can donate to.

Important story from Max Kozlov. Loss without replacement of council members is a serious concerns which could be a huge problem in the future, but this is uncertain.

ICE’s actions tear families apart, intimidate communities, & undermine the conditions that make education, research, healthcare, & public trust possible. We’re calling on scientists to join the general anti-ICE strike in Minnesota on January 23rd.

Freezing nights don’t stop us from supporting @nynurses.bsky.social on strike at Mount Sinai. Their fight for dignity and safe working conditions is our fight too ✊ #WhenWeFightWeWin

Trump administration: Record-high homelessness is caused not by housing costs but by mental illness and addiction. Also Trump administration: We're decimating the programs that treat mental illness and addiction.

"Dedicated state funding for science could help to alleviate the growing uncertainty which will attract and retain talent coming to New York from all over the world to perform practice-changing research." - Juliane Grimm, Postdoctoral Fellow @einsteinmededu.bsky.social

NY state friends, please do this today! The Governor’s State of the State is tomorrow, January 13 at 1:00 PM. We are hopeful she will announce the Empire Biomedical Research Institute (EBRI). Email the Governor and your Reps! actionnetwork.org/letters/supp...

Stand up for science research, time for creative and bold solutions ! @uawregion9a.bsky.social @standupforscience.bsky.social

"When science funding is disrupted, it doesn’t just slow down discovery, it also cuts short promising careers, with rippling effects on society and healthcare. We actually have a real opportunity right now to change the narrative, right here in NY." @samhegde.bsky.social

This is so incredibly heart-breaking. To Jay Bhattacharya and Matthew Memoli at NIH--you have betrayed the entire scientific community. Deeply committed staff are leaving in droves--because you are destroying the institution. Shame on you. www.statnews.com/2026/01/10/n...

State-backed research funding will make NY a haven for biomedical progress! @governor.ny.gov & Albany can capitalize on this opportunity by supporting EBRI ! Was moved to see such a broad + committed coalition across @nycures.bsky.social @amsny and @uawregion9a.bsky.social . Science is political !

Over 600 New Yorkers attended our Virtual Town Hall today to advocate for state-based science funding! We were joined by researchers, patients, institutions, and elected officials. @amsnyc.bsky.social @nycures.bsky.social @uawregion9a.bsky.social

"NYS Dept of Health & NYC Health Dept reject all recent and unilateral changes to the CDC immunization schedule." This letter just went all to all medical providers in NYC. It sends an unambiguous message: Do not change your prior immunization practices.

Science saves lives, creates jobs, and strengthens New York’s economy. We’re fighting for the state to invest in the science that serves the public good. @amsnyc.bsky.social @nycures.bsky.social @uawregion9a.bsky.social @governor.ny.gov

📣 VIRTUAL TOWNHALL 📣 This Friday. Organized by NY-CURES & postdoc unions ✍️ >>> docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Find out how the proposed Empire Biomedical Research Institute can help solve issues NY State is grappling with: affordability, workforce stability and long-term health & economic growth.

Three weeks ago I explained in @statnews.com why adopting Denmark’s vaccine schedule would leave American children unprotected. Today HHS did it anyway. www.statnews.com/2025/12/19/d...

We’re holding Virtual Statewide Town Hall for Medical Research on January 9! Join researchers, medical colleges, patients, and political allies to discuss how state funding can advance life-saving research. Let us know if you can make it! fundnyscience.org

Researchers across New York State are calling @governor.ny.gov and our elected representatives about the urgent need to invest in the Empire Biomedical Research Institute (EBRI), which would fund live-saving biomedical research through the state budget! #EBRI #NewYork #Science #Funding

"State-level support like #EBRI would protect progress, sustain new labs, and help attract talent and infrastructure." - @samhegde.bsky.social Click here to sign the Open Letter: fundnyscience.org

This is exactly why people claiming "it came up with a new set of experiments/ideas/concepts" are carrying water for the weasels trying to put genAI on everything. This is how we get science defunded. This is how your colleagues lose their jobs 🧪

The Keystone Symposia SAB isn’t just shaping science - they’re fighting for its future. Dr. Shruti Naik (@drshrutinaik.bsky.social) is leading a bold push for a NY state-run NIH to protect research funding with @nycures.bsky.social. keypoint.keystonesymposia.org/home/shruti-... #ScienceAdvocacy

This past Sunday, from 8am to 8pm, New Yorkers from every corner of our city traveled to the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria to share their dreams, their worries, the change they want to see across New York. It was an honor listening to each of them.

Huge props to these early-career faculty for voicing their concerns and thoughts. Too often we’re told to put our head down and focus on the science. We need more AND diverse support! <science cannot happen in a vacuum>

Wondering why you should ✍ our petition? c.org/nDnRNSsVcq In @aai.org, founder @drshrutinaik.bsky.social reveals why the coalition was formed, why NY needs a state-backed research institute, and how scientists should organize for systemic support — here and nationwide. news.aai.org/2025/11/20/n...
